Mango chutney recipe – A quick and easy raw mango chutney to serve with Indian breakfasts like idli, dosa, pesarattu, upma and vada. It can also be served with pongal or curd rice. There are so many ways a mango chutney can be made. This chutney is made using raw mango, fresh coconut and other basic ingredients.
This is a traditional mango chutney from andhra cuisine called kobbari mamidikaya pachadi and is mostly ground to a thicker consistency than seen in the pictures. It is served with rice. If you plan to enjoy it with plain rice, add less water and blend it to a thick chutney.

- Blend together mango, coconut, chili, urad dal, cumin, salt and a piece of ginger. Use 2 to 3 tbsp. water to blend until smooth. If using sesame seeds, powder them first and then blend with rest of the ingredients.
- Heat the same pan, if needed add little more oil, add cumin and mustard when they crackle, add dal and fry until golden. add red chil and curry leaves. Fry until the leaves turn crisp. Pour this to the mango chutney.
Recipe Notes
Adjust the quantity of mango as needed, too much mango may turn the mango chutney very sour. If it turns very sour, add more coconut, chili, ginger to balance the taste.
Ginger can be skipped, but helps to deal with the tickling throat after eating a sour mango.
!variation
fried gram, chana dal or sesame seeds can be used instead of urad dal for grinding. But urad dal brings a aroma to the chutney.

Hi Swasthi, do you have the recipe for Indian Wedding Mango Chutney. a friend of mine bought me a jar and loved it but I could not find it again. Please let me know. Thank you.
swasthi says
Hi Bella
Can you tell me if it is a south Indian or north Indian chutney.
I guess you are refering to a chutney and not a mango pickle

I like white chutney which we find in local breakfast centers but never I did. Some other color it will come finally. Hope I ll get it tomorrow
swasthi says
Hi Rehma
I think I am a bit late in replying you. Have you tried the tips for white coconut chutney from this coconut chutney post. Tiffin centers use very little milk for the coconut chutney.
