  • 8 cloves – Garlic 
  • 1- Chopped onion 
  • 2-3 green chilli (adjustable)
  • Mint leaves
  • Coriander leaves
  • 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 2 tsp mustard oil
  • ½ tsp Chaat masala
  • ½ tsp asafoetida (hing) (optional, but adds a unique flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mango and Tomatoes:
    • Cut the mango in half, discarding the seed.
    • Cut both the tomatoes in half. 
    • Peel and wash the garlic
  2. Cook the Mangoes and Tomatoes:
    • Heat mustard or any vegetable oil of your liking in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mango and tomato halves in a face-down position. 
    • Add the garlic pods in the center.
    • Let them cook for a few minutes, releasing their fragrant aroma.
    • Then flip the mangoes and the tomatoes and allow them to cook for 10 more minutes.
    • Sauté for about a minute, until the mango and tomato have softened, retaining their shape.
    • Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) if using, followed by the finely chopped green chilies.
  3. Tempering With the Spices:
    • Allow them to cool slightly before going into a manual chopper.
    • Now, flip them again and gently remove the tomato skin. 
    • Gently scoop out the mango pulp and discard the skin. 
    • Add in the spices: salt as per taste, Garlic, chopped onion, green chillis, Mint leaves, coriander leaves, roasted cumin powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, a pinch of sugar, Chaat masala, and ground together. Don’t make a fine paste; let it have a little choppy texture.
    • Add in the leftover mustard oil. 
    • Stir well to combine the spices with the oil.
    • Mix everything thoroughly and serve.

Tips and Tricks

  • Cook the mango and tomatoes on low to medium heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring and flipping occasionally. 
  • You may need to add a splash of water if it gets too thick, but the consistency should be chunky yet spreadable.
  • One sauteeing is done, remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool down slightly before making it into a chutney. You can garnish with chopped cilantro for an extra fresh touch.
  • Transfer the Mango Tomato Chutneyto a clean jar or container, and refrigerate. The chutney will continue to develop flavor as it sits.

  1. Mango Variety: The type of mango you use will affect the sweetness and flavor. Go for a raw, firm mango variety for a richer taste.
  2. Adjusting Heat: If you like it spicier, feel free to add extra green chilies or a dash of red chili flakes. For a milder chutney, reduce the amount of chili powder.
  3. Consistency: For a thicker chutney, cook it longer. For a runnier one, add a bit of water during the cooking process.
  4. Storage: This chutney can last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, making it ideal for meal prep or as a quick snack meal if you feel lazy to cook.
  5. Use in Village Food: Pair this chutney with traditional Rajasthani chutney recipes like dal baati churma or serve it alongside parathas, roti, or as a dip for crispy snacks like samosas and pakoras.
