Mango chutney recipe to go with paratha, papad, sandwiches. Spicy, sweet, sour and salty with flavourful spices added. Step by step pictures post.
I love the mango chutney they serve with papad in some north Indian restaurants, though I have not tasted many, just few times. But majorly, I had a doubt about it it was good or gone stale. May be the vinegar in the chutney was the one bothering me. I wanted to try it out at home. Since it’s mango season now, I thought of giving it a try and past few days, I was craving for this mango chutney with aloo paratha (Weekend lunch sorted).
I saw many recipes in the web as well as the recipes shared by homecooks in instagram. It mostly had fennel seeds and maghz. Just skipped those two ingredients due to personal preference. Am sure this goes well with parathas and rotis. I love my tomato jam and this one comes next in the list.
I have used jaggery in this recipe, you can swap with 1/4 cup white sugar too. Adding white sugar gives more glossy and runny chutney with lovely colour. I somehow love jaggery and mango combination, so used jaggery.
