Mango chutney recipe, sharing an easy chutney recipe with mangoes that can be served as side dish for idli, dosa or with steamed rice too.
There are many types of mango chutney made across the country, spicy,sweet etc. The mango chutney recipe I am sharing today is from south India. This mango chutney is spicy, tangy and has a nice texture that comes from fresh grated coconut. You make chutney with raw mango, ripened mango or even with semi ripe mango. I used semi ripe mango for this chutney, so this chutney is not overly tangy. There are so many recipes with mango from south India like raw mango rice, manga pachadi, vedhaya mangai, easy mango pickle, vadu mangai etc and this mango chutney is one tasty addition to the list.
While this mango chutney is often served as side dish along with dosa or idli, I personally like to eat this chutney with freshly steamed rice along with sesame oil and fried papad or vadam. This rice tastes good even after cooling, so you pack rice mixed mango chutney for lunch also. in fact the taste increases with time.
Apart from raw mango, the other ingredients needed for this chutney are freshly grated coconut, gram dal,urad dal, dried chili, asafoetida and curry leaves. I have also seen mango chutney recipes with different ingredients such as fenugreek seeds, garlic but I have not tried then yet. You can also make this chutney without coconut, just increase the amount of dals and mango. Same way if you are making chutney with very sour mango be sure to increase the amount of grated coconut to balance the taste.
