Manga Chammanthi/ Mango Chutney

(from Presi’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1. Coconut – 1 cup, scraped
  • 2. Raw Mango (pacha manga) – 1/2 – 3/4 cup, chopped (adjust according to the sourness)
  • 3. Crushed red chilli – 1 1/2 tsp (refer notes)
  • Small onion – 3-4, sliced
  • Ginger – 1/2 tsp, chopped
  • Curry leaves – 2 leaves (do not add more, it will give a bitter taste)
  • Salt – to taste

Directions

  1. Grind together all the ingredients, preferably without water, till all the ingredients are incorporated.

  2. Once you grind it, try shaping into a ball & see whether its holding the shape, then your chammanthi is ready :)

  3. Notes: Try not to add water, but if your mixie doesnt cooperate, you can add a tiny bit. Also if you dont have crushed red chilli, you can use 3-4 whole dried red chilli. Do a taste test of the mango first to see the sourness & add accordingly.
