Within few days  raw mangoes are going to dis appear from the market and I do not want you to miss this opportunity to cook this chutney   as  you can  preserve and enjoy  it whole year.

 Today  I cooked  huge  quantity  of  Kacche Aam ki Pakki Chutney  ...which   i will enjoy  till the next season of summer.

 Raw Mangoes

Category- sauces
Hear are the ingredients -

• Raw peeled mangoes(grated)-1 kg
• Salt-  2 tea spoon
• Red chili powder- 1 tea spoon
• Garlic cloves(chopped)-15
• Brown Vinegar- 2 table spoon
• Sugar-1 k.g
• Nigella Setiva- (kalonji)1 table spoon 



Grated Mangoes

• Fennel Seeds (saunf)- 2 table spoon

Method-  

Put  grated  raw peeled  mangoes  in a deep vessel and  set it on the  low flame . add salt, red chili powder,saunf  and  kalonji,  Stir it time to time as  it should not burn on the bottom,  let the grated mangoes a little softer and well cooked. 
Now add sugar and  pieces of garlic clove in it.  keep stiring till all ingredients  mix well ,Within few minutes sugar would be melt  completely. Mix  2 table spoon of black vinegar... 

Vinegar  is a very good preservative.....it will protect  your chutney to break down for a long time, what you have to take care  about..... is  do not use wet or left over spoon  in  chutney other wise  chutney will start breaking down.

Let the chutney  boil for 2 minutes, adjust  sugar according to your taste  and take it off the fire. Let it cool. When it becomes cool, fill it in the clean dried glass jar. Enjoy it with your meal.... when ever you desire.
