Raw Mango Chutney

Most of the times, food we love and eat in our day to day life is pretty much require minimal ingredients, easy and quick to make. This is one such recipe.

Its a delight to eat this as a side dish with roti/rice/vegetables and if you were me, you can eat this just like that. One full bowl of this chutney like a soup :). Trust me, if you haven't tasted this yet, you are truly missing something. So get up, buy some raw mangoes and make this. You will fall in love with it like I did.


Ingredients:

2 raw mangoes - peeled, seed removed and cut into cubes
1 cup sugar - can be adjusted as some raw mangoes might be more sour than others
1 tbsp mustard oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp nigella seeds (kalaunji)
salt to taste
pinch of turmeric powder (do not add more than this, as this is only used for color)
2 cups water

Recipe:

1. Take frying pan and put it over medium heat. Add mustard oil.
2. Once oil is heated, add cumin and nigella seeds, once they start crackling, add raw mangoes,salt and turmeric powder.
3. Close the lid and let the mangoes cook. Keep stirring in between so that mangoes doesn't get burnt.
4. Once mangoes are 90% cook, add water.
5. Once mangoes are cooked, add sugar. This instantaneously will thicken the consistency of the chutney.
6. Adjust water and sugar according the consistency and sweetness you want in the chutney.
7. Eat with whatever you want :). You won't be able to resist it.

  1. Even i tried Suhani.. its easy and delicious.. goes very well with rice..At the beginning, I put dry chilli & mustard seed also in the oil .. which gives it a little peppery taste. You can give it a try too ! :)
