Ingredients

  • 1 kg Green Mango/ Kancha Aam/ Kacchi Keiri
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
  • 25 g Raisin handful

Tempering

  • 1 teaspoon Panch Phoron/ Bengali Five Spices
  • 3 Dry Red Chili

Flavorings:

  • 250 g Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Bengali Bhaja Masala
  • 2 tablespoon Mustard Oil

Instructions

  • Wash and pat dry the Mangos.
  • Cut the mangos into long strips. I prefer to use the seed as well if developed within the mango. You can discard it.
  • I do not discard the mango skin while making the chutney. This is optional. You can peel off the skin.
  • Marinade mangoes with turmeric powder, salt, and red chili powder and leave those for 15 minutes.
  • The mangoes will release moisture which you need to discard.
  • Heat oil in a pan and temper the oil with Panch Phoron, and also dry red chilies.
  • Add marinated mangoes and mix properly.
  • Add Ginger paste as well.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes on low flame.
  • Stir in between.
  • Now add raisins and also Sugar.
  • Adjust the salt if needed.
  • Mix properly and cover the pan with the lid.
  • Cook until mangoes are cooked and softened as well.
  • The gravy will be prepared automatically with the sugar and moisture coming from the mangoes.
  • Switch the flame off and add roasted Bengali Bhaja masala and mix properly.

Serving Suggestion

  • Serve Aamer Chutney at room temperature or after refrigerating it with your choice of Bengali meal.
  • You can store this in the refrigerator for around 7 days.

Notes

  • Instead of Sugar, you can also use Gur aka jaggery.
  • Adjust the sugar as per taste as well as how sweet or sour are the mangoes.
  • If cooking the mangoes without skin reduce the cooking time by 5-7 minutes. I prefer to use the skin to increase the cooking time and also to make the chutney more flavorful.
