Kacche Aam ki Chutney
Raw mango chutney sweetened with jaggery, the summer staple of every UP kitchen. The condiment that carries the meal — bright, punchy and made in minutes. Serve with idli, dosa, rice or anything that needs waking up.
Ingredients
- Salt1 tsp
- Mustard Seeds1 tsp
- Curry Leaves1 sprig
- Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
- Asafoetidaa pinch
- Tamarind Paste1 tbsp
- Coconut Oil1 tbsp
- Green Mango1, peeled and grated
- Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
Instructions
- 1
Get everything ready: fresh coconut or the green mango prepped, spices within reach — chutney takes minutes.
- 2
Toast the jaggery 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
If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
