Kacchhe Aam Ki Chutney

(Mango Sauce)

DSC 0888 - ~*~ Cooking Competeion June 2013 ~*~

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1. Raw Mango (cubed/grated): 1
2. Sugar: 2 tbs or as per taste
3. Oil: 2 tbs
4. Mustard Seeds (rai): 1/2 tsp
5. Cumin Seeds (jeera): 1/2 tsp
6. Aniseed (saunf): 1/2 tsp
7. Salt: 1 tsp
8. Red Chilli Powder: 1/2 tsp
9. Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp



Method:

  • Cut the raw mango in small cubes or grate it. I prefer the typical green raw mangoes, but even if you have the slightly yellow ones, they'll do good; just add a little less sugar if they are already sweeter.
  • Take oil in a pan and heat it on high flame. Once hot, switch the flame to low and add jeera
    (cumin seeds), followed by saunf and rai. Let the rai splutter.
  • Now add the mango cubes to it and mix well.
  • Add all the spices and salt and cover the pan for 5-7 minutes, keeping the flame on low.
  • By this time, the raw mango cubes would be optimally cooked; if you feel they are still not soft, cook for 2-3 minutes more, adding 1 tsp of water.
  • At last, add sugar to it and mix well.
  • Put off the heat and let it cool.
  • Relish this with Parantha or any snacks.



Tips:


  • You can even make this with ripe mangoes if they are a slightly sour and tangy; just add less sugar and cook for lesser time.
  • This can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
