Indian Sweet Mango Chutney / Mango Chutney / ChundaIndian Sweet Mango Chutney Recipe

Hi my lovely readers, hope you had a great weekend. This weekend, I made this Indian Sweet Mango Chutney Recipe also called as ‘Chunda / Aam ki Launji’ in India.

It’s hands down my FAVORITE Indian pickle or chutney ever ( I made it for the 3rd time in two months) !!!

This Indian Sweet Mango Chutney is a perfect combination of sweet – tart and I can literally eat it with all our meals/snacks or even slathered on toast.

It’s what I look forward to every summer cause no matter how much we make it thinking we’ll be able to consume the whole year, it always ends up finishing quickly.

Indian Sweet Mango Chutney Ingredients:

1 Large Green Raw Mango – washed and patted dry

1/4 Cup Jaggery – you can use brown sugar or any other kind of sugar or sugar substitute

Juice of 1/2 Lemon or use vinegar

1/3 Cup Water

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Whole Spices:

1/4 Tsp Onion Seeds – optional

1/4 Tsp Fennel – optional

Powdered Spices:

Pinch of Asafetida

1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder

1/2 Tsp Red Chilli Powder

1/4 Tsp Ginger Powder

1/4 Tsp Cumin Powder

Salt to taste

Now, I’m a winter person….I mean I love winters more than the summer.

However, the only reason for me to look forward to summers is all the seasonal fruits we get like mangoes, lychee, guavas, cherry and etc.

And if you’re a dessert-loving person, it’s the perfect time to make or eat freshly prepared turnovers, pies, cakes, ice cream, and pudding.

I mean we do get them all year round but nothing compares to eating fresh seasonal ingredient dishes.

Similarly, this Indian Sweet Mango Chutney Recipe can ONLY BE MADE using raw green mangoes.

As the raw mango adds such a delicious tart flavor to this otherwise sweet chutney.

Hence, it’s also called ‘Raw Mango Chutney’ or ‘Fresh Mango Chutney’.

So as soon as I got green mango this time for the chutney, I knew it’s coming here on the blog.

Many friends have already asked for the recipe number of times and I thought I had already posted it last year but that wasn’t the case.

So, here I’m on a Monday morning, sitting with my cup of coffee, chutney slathered toast and chatting up with you about this.

Now, the chutney recipe is really simple and you can adjust the sweet-tart flavor as per your taste.

Also, here are some tips on making the chutney.

Tips for Making Indian Sweet Mango Chutney Recipe:

1. Mango should be Raw with not many spots.

2. Wash the mango and dry completely. (it shouldn’t have any water when grating it).

3. Grating it thinner will ensure it’s cooked quickly.

4. If using jaggery (like I do in this recipe), grate the jaggery too for even absorption.

5. The jar or dish you’ll use to store or serve the jam should be absolutely clean and dry (sterile jars are best for storing any jams/pickle/chutney).

6. You can add less or more water depending on how you like the chutney, just remember to cook it properly.

7. The COLOR (Everyone asks me this), comes from ‘Turmeric Powder’ and ‘Kashmiri Mirch/Red Chili’ which is used for its color than the spiciness.

8. I’m using ‘Onion Seeds – Kalonji’ and ‘Fennel Seeds – Saunf’ for a rustic sweet flavor, however you can completely skip this if you don’t have them.

9. ALWAYS use a clean/dry spoon to scoop the chutney or pickles as it prevents them from going bad (fungus – Remember, once the chutney is all made, it shouldn’t have any contact with water).

    Just finished making this chutney and when doing the taste test I couldn’t stop !! Delicious. I did add more sugar though as I only had raw sugar in hand. Also substituted malt vinegar for the lemon juice. Can’t go wrong with this recipe so long as the spices are there. Thankyou for this little treat.

    I haven’t had chutney in years. I always appreciate quick and simple recipes and this sounds super flavorful.

  • Hanady | Recipe Nomad June 12, 2017 (11:25 pm)

    MMM! This reminds me of my favorite Indian restaurant in London! I love the deep red color and the flavors sound divine! Saving this one!

  • Pam Wattenbarger June 12, 2017 (4:33 pm)

    I, too, was wondering where the wonderful red color came from! I didn’t know that tip about the fungus caused from water on the spoon either. I am sure I’ve probably done this in the past when I wondered why my chutney went bad.

  • Tina Dawson | Love is in my Tummy June 12, 2017 (3:10 pm)

    Mango chutney on toast! Now that I gotta try!
