Sun-dried mango magaya, the pickle that outlives summers. The condiment that carries the meal — bright, punchy and made in minutes. Spoon alongside breakfast or stir through hot rice with ghee.

Ingredients

Salt1 tsp
Fenugreek Seeds1 tsp
Mustard Seeds1 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Dried Red Chilies2
Asafoetidaa pinch
Tamarind Paste1 tbsp
Red Chili Powder1 tsp
Coconut Oil1 tbsp
Green Mango1, peeled and grated

Instructions

1
Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.
2
Toast the salt lightly for depth, or keep it raw for brightness — both are correct.
3
Blitz the green mango with the roasted bits, tamarind and salt, adding water a spoon at a time.
4
Taste and adjust — salt, sour, heat; chutney should be slightly louder than the dish it accompanies.
5
Pour the crackling tadka over the chutney and leave it sitting on top like a crown.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
