mango chutney

mango chutney is one of the last recipe i made in this mango season. there are many variations of making mango chutney from sweet to sour to raw to cooked versions. i have already posted mango chutney recipes made with sweet ripe mangoes and sour mangoes.

this mango chutney is very easy and is ready in 20 minutes. it is flavored with the panch phoran spices- the five spice mix use in bengali cuisine – namely cumin or jeera, fennel or saunf, wild celery seeds or radhuni, fenugreek seeds or methi and nigella or kalonji seeds.

usually radhuni which are wild celery seeds is one of the spice used in this 5 spice mixture blend. but it is very difficult to get it outside bengal. so you can substitute it with either mustard or carom seeds. fort this recipe i have used black mustard seeds.

in this chutney semi ripe mangoes are used so there is a sweet and tangy taste to the chutney. there is also ginger, so there is a fresh ginger flavor in the chutney.

as a sweetener i have used powdered jaggery which gives earthy tones to this chutney but you can also use sugar instead.

the mango chutney can be served as a side dish along with a main course indian meal. the chutney can also be had as a dip with starters or snacks. it can also be had with rotis, parathas or simply as it is.
