Mango Chutney, is a speciality of the South Indian coastal state of Andhra Pradesh. Mango chutney can be made in many different ways. I will add all the variations I know as I get time.

Below is the recipe for the easiest one.

[edit] Ingredients for Type 1

• 1 large raw (unripe) mango, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
• 2 tsp mustard seeds
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil (EVOO works)
• 1/2 tsp asafoetida ("Heengh" in Hindi, "Perungayum" in Tamil)
• 3-4 dry red chillies
• 2-3 green chillies (you can add more if you want it spicier)
• 1 tsp lime juice (if mango is not sour enough)
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 3/4 tbsp salt (adjust to taste)

[edit] Procedure for Type 1

1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add mustard seeds, asafoetida, green chillies and red-chillies. Wait till the mustard seeds splutter and remove pan from stove.
3. Grind the above mix with mango, lime juice (if needed) turmeric and salt

[edit] Notes, tips, and variations

1. Serve with Hot Rice or Bread
2. Works as an excellent spread on a sandwich
3. If it is not too spicy then you can serve it as a dip for tortilla chips
4. You could also Serve with Yogurt/Curd
5. vary amount of salt/spices as needed.
