Mango-Mint Chutney
आम-पूदीने की चटनी
You must have relished chutneys with raw mango but have you ever tried our favourite side dish with a semi-ripe mango which is neither too sweet nor too tangy. There is quite a big range of ingredients which make a perfect pair with a semi-ripe mango. Mint or pudina is one of them. One more is coconut/nariyal which makes Mango-Coconut Chutney
OUR BELOVED CHUTNEYS ARE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF PAIRING OF DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS
A perfect pairing of ingredients takes the flavours to another level. The need is to explore them and use in your day to day cooking. A perfect balance of flavours does a blast in your mouth, and you feel them layer by layer
The best example of this concept is our beloved chutneys which complement our main course dishes. Our thalis are incomplete without these condiments. So why not try them with seasonal picks to go beyond our imagination!
INGREDIENTS REQUIRED
• Semi ripe mango (not too sweet) – 1 no
• Mint leaves – 1 cup or leaves from1 big bunch
• Green chillies – 1-2 or to taste
• Juice from 1 lemon
• Salt – 1/2 tsp or to taste
INGREDIENTS FOR TEMPERING/TADKA
• Mustard oil – 1 tsp
• Cumin seeds/jeera – 1/2 tsp
• Whole red chillies – 1-2 nos
STEP BY STEP
1- Firstly add mint leaves and green chillies to a blender and blend to a coarse paste. Keep aside
- You can make a paste with the help of pestle and mortar/sil batta (making the paste on sil batta keeps the mint leaves fresh and green)
2- Take a pan and add mustard oil and heat to the smoking point. Now switch off the flame and add cumin seeds/jeera and red chillies. Stir them well
3- Switch on the flame again and add chopped mangoes.
4- Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes Stir them well and mash a little with the spoon. Add salt at this stage and mix well
5- Switch off the flame and let the mango cool down completely. When cooled, add the mint paste and lemon juice. Mix well everything to make a mint-mango chutney
6- This chutney goes well with cutlets and kababs. I serve this chutney with BHUTTE-AAM KE KABAB/ CORN-RAW MANGO KABAB
