mithi chutney

Mithi chutney is added to a tonne of chaats. It’s tanginess from the raw mango and sweetness from the dates and jaggery compliments cilantro chutney very well.

140g raw mango (85g meat), cubed
100g pitted dates, cubed
100g jaggery, cubed
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp cumin powder (seeds roasted and ground) 
¼ tsp chilli powder

  1. In a small saucepan on medium heat, add the raw mango, dates, jaggery and 2/3 cup water. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until mango is tender and the jaggery and dates have somewhat melted through. When cool to handle, transfer to a food processor along with 1/2 cup of water. Blitz until smooth. Pass through a strainer, discarding anything that remains in the strainer and collecting the chutney beneath. Lastly, add salt, cumin and chilli powder. Stir well.

  2. Store leftover chutney in the freezer (good for 2-3 months)
