Yum! Yum! Yum!

This is a must make chutney in our home during the spring season when the fresh Raw mangoes are in the market. This is an alteration to the original coconut chutney,where the tamarind is replaced with grated raw mango for the sourness. So the taste of this chutney depends on how sour the mango you are using. This recipe comes from  my mom's kitchen, this is my favorite when was i kid, my mom usually makes this in Ugadi Festival season as the fresh raw mangoes are abundant in the market. On popular demand I have made this chutney on our recent Ugadi Potluck, Here is the recipe, Njoy!

Mango Coconut Chutney

Ingredients:
Coconut  - 1 cup ( chopped or grated)
Raw Mango - 1 cup ( chopped or grated)
Coriander Seeds - 1 Tbsp
Green Chillie - 5
Garlic - 3
salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Chana Dal - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Red Chili - 3
Curry Leaves - 10
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Method:

1. In a non-stick pan roast the coriander seeds, green chili, garlic.
2. Wash the coconut pieces and finely chop them ( or grate them). Wash and peel the Mango and remove the seed and shell inside. Finely chop into small pieces.
3. Grind the Coconut and Mango into coarsely, then add the roasted coriander seeds, green chili, garlic.
4. Grind one more time and add salt in between, taste and adjust the salt. Grind until You get the husky texture and consistency, don't make it smooth. (Do not add any water, if it is too thick add little drops of water, as the water can suddenly dilute this chutney). Transfer this into a serving bowl. 
5. Heat the Oil in the non-stick pan, once the oil is hot, add the red chili, followed by Chana Dal, Urad Dal, Cumin Seeds, Mustard seeds and Curry leaves, add this Indian Tempering to the top of the chutney in the bowl. Mix it well right before you serve. 

Notes:

• This goes well with Garelu on any festive day. 
• You can add Red Chili instead of Green Chili while grinding that will be good for Dosa and Idli.
• Enjoy your festive dishes with this wonderful raw chutney in the spring season
