Maavinkai gojju is another Havyaka dish prepared often at home. In the past, a lot of our families used to farm with agriculture being the predominant occupation. Although this culture is now diminishing and people mostly prefer to have a salaried jobs, the traditional cuisines still carry on at most homes. So summers would mean farm fresh mangoes. Before the summers would set in, raw mangoes are collected and variety of recipes are made from them. They are used in paanaka, pickles and in form of chutneys. Maavinkai gojju or raw mango chutney is made from raw mangoes instead of tamarind.
