The combination of raw mangoes with Jaggery makes this an awesome chutney!
Ingredients:
- 1 large (about 350grms) Raw mango (see Tips)
- 1-3/4 cups (about 350 grms) Jaggery, powdered
- 1/2 -1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 2-3 tsp Ghee/oil
- a pinch of Turmeric (optional)
- 1-2 dried Red Chilli (optional)
- pinch of Salt (to taste)
Method:
- Peel and slice the mangoes into thin slices. Its okay if it gets uneven - it doesn't really matter.
- To a pan, over medium heat, add jaggery and 1 cup of water.
- This is done to melt the jaggery and it takes around 4-5 minutes.
- Filter this to a cup. The straining is essential to remove any scum or debris that is mostly found in jaggery. Keep aside.
- In the same pan, add the ghee and when hot, drop the mustard seeds. Add red chillies if using.
- When it starts spluttering, add the mangoes.
- Stir gently for few seconds. Add turmeric, if using.
- Add about 1-1/2 cups water. Cover and cook for around 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, give it a gentle stir and without the lid continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes or until it starts becoming mushy.
- Now add the jaggery water,stir and simmer further for another 10-15 minutes, until it comes together into a thick sauce. The consistency will depend on your family's preference. If it becomes too thick for your liking, add few tbsp of water to rectify it.
