The ingredients used in Odia cuisine are plantains, jackfruit and papaya. The curries are garnished with dried raw mango. Panch phutana a blend of five spices are widely used in Odia cuisine.

The Secret Ingredients & The challenge

So for this month, we are headed to the state of Odisha for our Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge , where we are sharing regional themes. I was paired with Priya Iyer from The world through my eyes. Do check her blog for some delicious recipes. She also does reviews about books and Restaurants, so next time you are looking for some genuine review do hop on her blog. So, Priya gave me Fenugreek and Jaggery as the secret Ingredient and I gave her Panch Phoran and Raw mango and she created this delicious Amba Khatta.

Odia’s Sapuri khatta

To be honest I never thought I will make a chutney from pineapple or such chutney did exist. I try to eat fruit on its own. But while I was searching for recipes, I found this quite interesting. I thought of making the dalma or the cheena poda but the khatta was always back on my mind. Now I did not want to make the tomato khatta, as last month I did share a tomato-based recipe, No Oil Tomato Chutney from Nagaland for this challenge.

And with mango I have already made Kairi ki Launji, a khatta North Indian recipe from my mom’s kitchen. So I thought of using pineapple. Generally pineapple here comes sweet, but fortunately, this pineapple had no sweet taste. My 3-year-old rejected it too. So making this Sapuri khatta was an ideal choice.
