It is a sweet, slightly spicy, and tangy condiment prepared from raw or unripe mango and regular spices. It is a taste enhancer that can be used for different types of meals including breakfast, lunch, and dinner with rice and chapati. I share 2 types of raw mango chutneys which are meethi keri ni chutney and keri lasan ni chutney. ย Both chutneys are easy to make and you can store them in the refrigerator for months. Do try this!
For meethi keri ni chutney
the green and slightly sour mangoes like totapuri are highly recommended and preferred ones for chutney.
secondly, depending upon the quantity of mango pulp and sour taste level, you may either increase or decrease the quantity of mishri (sugar) chilli and salt. I take an equal amount of mango pulp and mishri (sugar).
lastly, you can store the chutney in airtight container and in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
For keri lasan ni chutney
The texture of this chutney is slightly coarse, so I make it into mortal pestal but you can make it in a mixture jar by pulse grinding.
the chutney tastes great based on the combination of spicy, salty, and sour tastes it has to offer. hence increasing or decreasing the amount of garlic and spice level based on the sourness of the mango.
Store chutney in an air-tight jar also uses a dry spoon while handling and avoid any moisture for better shelf life.
