Make a delicious a raw mango chutney
This is the season for mangoes. You can savour both the ripe ones and raw ones. As raw mangoes are easily available now, you can make a delicious mango chutney. It's easy to make and in almost all traditional wedding feasts in Odisha during summer seaon, this generally figures in.
While making this chutney, paanch phutan (a mixture of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, nigella seeds, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds) adds a delightful flavour to this dish. It goes very well with a simple meal of rice, dal and chicken curry. The tangy taste of this mango chutney will make you long for more.

Ingredients:
Two raw mango in medium size (cut into cubes)
Chopped Ginger pieces
Chopped Green chilli - 1
A tea spoon of paanch phutan
Turmeric powder --- a pinch
Red chilli powder --- less than half tsp
Salt, jaggery to taste
Curry leaves

Method:
Put oil in the kadhai. When the oil is hot, add paanch phutan. Then add finely chopped ginger, green chilli. Fry a little and then add curry leaves. After this, add the mango pieces and cover it for a while. Then add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt. Add water in the pan (the chutney needs to be a little thick. So, add water keeping this in mind.). Let it cook for a while. Then add jaggery. You can also add sugar but jaggery gives a more subtle flavour to the chutney. Allow it to simmer for a while till the chutney gets a thick consistency.
