My 13th recipe, “Raw Mango Pachadi / Chutney”, a very interesting fusion of tastes… A little bit of sour here, a little bit of sweet there and some spiciness to round everything off… This dish for sure would take you for a sensory adventure… Since mangoes are seasonal in India, my mom used to prepare this very rarely for me in my childhood… Here in US, I am able to purchase a Mango anytime of the year and treat myself to this delectable dish…
| Serves | : | 2 |
| Total time | : | 20 mins |
| Preparation time | : | 5 minutes |
| Cooking time | : | 15 minutes |
Ingredients:-
| Raw Mango | - | 1 small (cut into cubes 1 ½ cup measured) | |
| Jaggery | - | ¾ Cup | |
| Turmeric powder | - | ¼ tsp | |
| Sambar powder | - | ½ tsp (chilli powder ¼ tsp + coriander powder ¼ tsp) | |
| Salt | - | ¼ tsp | |
| To Temper | |||
| Oil | - | 1 tsp | |
| Mustard | - | ¼ tsp | |
| Broken Urad Dal | - | ½ tsp | |
| Jeera | - | ¼ tsp | |
Method:-
| 1) | First melt the jaggery with ¼ cup of water, filter it and keep aside. Jaggery would contain dirt and contaminants and hence filtering is highly recommended. | |
|

|
|
|
|
| 2) | Heat a pan with oil, add the mustard, let it splutter and then add the broken urad dal and jeera. Once the urad dal is slightly browned, add the cut raw mango and saute for a minute. | |
| 3) | Add one cup of water, turmeric, sambar powder, salt and mix thoroughly. Bring it to boil and immediately reduce the flame to low and let the raw mango cook. | |
|
|
|
| 4) | Once the raw mango is half done, add the jaggery syrup, give a quick stir and set the flame to medium. Let it get cooked for 5 more minutes, stirring at regular intervals. | |
|
|
|
| 5) | Slowly the mixture would thicken and start leaving the sides of the pan and by that time the mango will also be fully done. Turn off the flame. | |
|
||
| 6) | Serve it either hot / room temperature. Either way, it would be simply delicious. | |

Notes:-
| • | Raw mango will get cooked soon. Don’t let the mango turn mushy, it would be nice to bite into chunks of mango. | |
| • | We can even remove the skin of raw mango and use, but again the chances of mango getting mushy would increase. | |
