To make a tangy and flavorful recipe of raw mango chutney, start by gathering a medium-sized raw mango, 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut, 3-4 green chillies, 2-3 garlic cloves, and salt to taste.
- 2
Wash the raw mango thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities, then peel the skin using a knife or vegetable peeler.
- 3
Chop the mango into small cubes, ensuring you remove the seed.
- 4
The smaller the pieces, the easier it will be to grind into a smooth chutney.
- 5
Set the chopped mango aside.
- 6
Combine the mango cubes with the desiccated coconut in a blender or food processor.
- 7
The coconut adds a rich, slightly sweet undertone that perfectly balances the tanginess of the mango.
- 8
Add the green chillies to the blender for a spicy kick—adjust the quantity based on your spice tolerance.
- 9
Two chillies will do if you like it mild; for more heat, go with three or four.
- 10
Toss in the garlic cloves to lend a bold, aromatic flavour that enhances the chutney's overall taste.
- 11
Sprinkle in about a teaspoon of salt, then pulse the mixture a few times to break everything down.
- 12
Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help the ingredients blend smoothly.
- 13
Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth paste.
- 14
Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure even blending.
- 15
Once the chutney reaches the texture you need, taste it and adjust the seasoning.
- 16
If it's too tangy, add a pinch of sugar to mellow the flavour, though the mango's natural tang makes this chutney shine.
- 17
Transfer the delicious raw mango chutney to a serving bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
