South Indian Style Mango Chutney
Lakshmy Subramoniam 2 comments

This version of the south Indian style mango chutney is easy to make and hits all of the flavor profiles (sweet, sour, spicy, and salty). It's the perfect all-rounder condiment for samosas, pakoras, or as part of an Indian thali.

Here's the recipe:

Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free

Yield: 1 cup

Prep time: 5 mins 
Cook time:15 mins
Total time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

2 semi-ripe mangoes - peeled and roughly chopped (you can also use fully ripe or unripe mangoes. Scroll down for extra tips!)

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

2 Tbsp jaggery (substitute with brown sugar or coconut sugar to mimic the caramel flavor)

For the tempering**:

1 tsp sunflower oil

2 tsp mustard seeds

2 dried Kashmiri red chilies

 

Directions

In a pan on medium-high heat, start by adding half a cup of water to which you can add the turmeric powder. Once this mixture comes to a bubble, add in the peeled and chopped mangoes. Mix everything well, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 6 - 7 mins*. 

While the mangoes are cooking, melt the jaggery in 1/2 cup of hot water. (If using sugar, skip this step).

Check on the mangoes at the half-way mark (at 3 mins) to make sure the water has not evaporated. If the mixture looks thick and is sticking to the bottom just add a splash of water and continue to cook covered. 

After 6 - 7 mins, we are looking for a semi-liquid consistency and the mangoes should be soft. To this, add in the jaggery water. You can strain it to get rid of any sediments. Cook and keep mixing this mixture till it thickens up which should take around 2 - 3 mins. 

Salt to taste, mix well, turn off the element, and set this aside.

Now it's time to make the tempering!

In a pan on high heat, add the sunflower oil. To this add in the mustard seeds and wait for it to splutter. After which, add in the dried red chilies (broken into two to release its flavor) and cook for 5 - 6 seconds till toasty. 

Add in the tempering to the cooked mango mixture, mix well, and serve with hot samosas, in a thali, or just eat it by the spoonful! It's that good!

 

Tips:

*If using ripe mangoes, cook for 3 - 4 mins and if using unripe mangoes, cook for 10 - 12 mins.  

** You can also add 10 - 12 curry leaves and 1/4 tsp of hing (asafoetida) to the temepring for a more traditional south Indian flavor. I was unable to find some at my local Indian store at the time :(

Hello everyone, my name is Sandra rick kemp. For quite some time, My husband was living in another apartment due to work pressure and we were very much happy together even though he stayed apart from us for some months. Little did i know a colleague from work was already having an affair with him which made my husband file a divorce. I knew something was wrong because we never had to fight or argue that much to make him leave. I was traumatized and i search for help to tackle the situation which led me to DR Mahlangu from praises people showered on him online. We discussed at length and he told me everything I needed to know about what happened and the due process to fix the problems. He fulfilled his promises and got my husband back to me and the divorce process was canceled. Now my husband is back home to us and we are happy together.

My name is Ashley Vivian, Am here to share a testimony on how Dr Raypower helped me. After a 1/5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time. He stopped answering my calls and my sms and he stopped seeing me regularly. I then started catching him with different girls several times but every time he would say that he loved me and that he needed some time to think about our relationship. But I couldn’t stop thinking about him so I decided to go online and I saw so many good talks about this spell caster called Dr Raypower and I contacted him and explained my problems to him. He cast a love spell for me which I use and after 24 hours,my boyfriend came back to me and started contacting me regularly and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends. We eventually got married and we have been married happily for 3 years with a son. Ever since Dr Raypower helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before.
