Ingredients Needed for this Chutney
Raw Mango - Raw or Unripe Mango is available during the summer season. It is best to use the mangoes in the season, else it might be very sour.
Brinjal - You can use any variety of Brinjal for this chutney.
For Spice - We use Green chilies to make this chutney.
Tempering spice - You can use regular tempering ingredients to temper this chutney finally.
Instructions to make the Chutney
Before starting to make this chutney, it is good if you have all the ingredients set up. As we are using brinjals, always chop and soak in the water before starting the cooking.
Heat a nonstick pan with oil, add cumin seeds and let it splutter.
Next, add the chopped green chilies and saute.
After a few minutes, add the chopped brinjal and lower the flame.
Cover with a lid and cook on low flame for 5 minutes.
Now add garlic cloves and saute well.
When the brinjal is well roated, takes about 10 minutes, remove to a plate and let it cool.
Peel the raw mango and dice into 1/2 inch pieces.
Take the roasted brinjal along with raw mango in a mixer jar and grind to a paste.
Now heat the pan again with oil, temper with all the ingredients one by one.
When the ingredients are sauteed well, add the ground paste and cook for 5 minutes on low.
Remove and serve with steamed rice.
Substitutions you can make
Actually, there is nothing you will have to substitute in this chutney. However, you can reduce mango if it is very sour and use a bit of tamarind if you like.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve this chutney with hot steamed rice. However, this will taste great as a side dish for Dosa or Idli too.
How to store this condiment
This chutney will stay good when refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.
Before serving, microwave or heat it over the stove.
Expert Tips to follow
Increase a bit of spice to handle the mango sourness. You can add an equal number of dried red chilies with green chilies for a change

Yummy one. I learnt this chutney from my MIL. It is not such a well known combo though I think it is traditionally made in Rayalaseema area.
