'''Chhundo''' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]: છૂંદો, [[Hindi]]: छुन्दो) is a kind of [[Indian pickle]] preparation as well as a condiment mostly made out of grated green [[mango]]es, used in [[cuisine of the Indian subcontinent]] as an accompaniment to the main meal that consists of [[Roti]], [[Curry|Sabzi]] and other food items.<ref>[http://www.travelindia360.net/at-the-manchester-of-the-east.html Ahmedabad City, Ahmedabad History, Ahmedabad Attractions, Ahmedabad Accommodation<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817061702/http://www.travelindia360.net/at-the-manchester-of-the-east.html |date=August 17, 2011 }}</ref> However, it is a generic form of preparation that can be made with various fruits and vegetables. Chhundo is particularly a Kathiawadi dish but is consumed across [[Gujarat]].<br />
<br />
Since mango is a seasonal fruit and is available in abundance only in summer in India (April–July), most mango pickles are made during this time with oil or sugar base and then preserved in large glass containers. This way Chhundo and other pickles are available for consumption throughout the year.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://forumhub.com/southfood/3042.14464.03.14.55.html |title=Hemant'S Cookery Corner<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2011-12-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120414232120/http://forumhub.com/southfood/3042.14464.03.14.55.html |archive-date=2012-04-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
