History
Aam Chhundo originated in Kathiawar, Gujarat, as a way to preserve the summer mango bounty. Families would grate raw mangoes, mix them with sugar and spices, and let the sun do the slow cooking. This method not only preserved the fruit but also intensified its flavour. Over time, it became a culinary heirloom, passed down through generations and served with pride in every Gujarati thali.
