Few important tips when preparing raw mango spicy chutney
Use good raw green mango which is tangy to taste.
Always use unripe firm mangoes and do not use ripe or half ripe mangoes for this chutney. If half ripe mangoes are used, they impart water to chutney and reduces the shelf life of chutney.
Dry roast all the spices on low to medium heat, to get nice color and aroma. Spices will get burnt if roasted on high heat.
For storing the chutney use a clean and dry glass jar. Use a clean spoon for serving. This helps in maintaining the shelf life of chutney.
Serving options:
It goes perfect with dosa, idli or hot rice. We prefer with hot rice and coconut oil.
