Mixed Grapes Chutney or say Angoor ki Chutney is a quick & easy recipe that can add dollops of deliciousness to your food. You can also make Grapes Jam with the same recipe.

 Add this to your meals and your kids would love to have food. Apply it on the chapati and make a roll or just serve in addition to regular veggies, either way, it's going to win hearts.

And, as always this is a very healthy recipe. It is full of fibre as it has fruits and jaggery. Yes, no refined sugar!. Jaggery not only gives a wonderful taste to this chutney but also gives a lovely colour.

Chutneys and pickles always hold a special liking to the Indian menu. In my family, there may be just one veggie in meals but there have to be different types of chutneys like green coriander chutney or Amchoor ki chutney, Kachalu chat and so on.

This recipe is exactly like the way we make Raw Mango Chutney/Launji. Till the time raw mangoes are available, you will find this Launji in our refrigerator. But once the season is over, then?

So, now you can have this Grape chutney in rotation with raw mango chutney. When the raw mangoes are not available or if you wish to go for a change or add a new dish to your menu then this is the perfect chutney.

You can make this chutney with whatever variety of grapes you have. The one with only black grapes tastes good too but it is actually very sweet without any tanginess. That's why it is better to add different types of grapes or at least green and black to have the sweet n tangy taste.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

•  Firstly, grapes are available throughout the year so you can make it any time.
• Secondly, it requires no peeling. Just wash and use.
• And lastly, as grapes are already sweet therefore the need for sugar is reduced drastically. For 100 g mixed grapes, I used just 1 tbsp jaggery. So, isn't it cool?

How To Make 

This recipe is very easy and is very much Indian using spices like mustard seeds and fennel seeds powder. For making this chutney, you may use mixed grapes or just any one type of grapes, green or black. 

Mustard seeds are crackled in hot oil, and then grapes are cooked till soft n mushy. Spices are mixed and very little jaggery powder is added to give it a sweet n sour taste.

Good Use of Leftover Grapes

Many times it happens that you end up buying a lot many grapes and then after a few days, you are bored with eating these, especially, as they shrink and do not look that good.

Then, the best way to use them is to make this Chutney, in a way, a makeover of leftovers.

 

Step By Step Recipe

• Take mixed grapes or just the green ones. I took all three varieties almost in equal quantity, approx 30 g each.

 

• Wash these and if too big just cut into 2 pieces. Remove seeds from the red grapes.

 

• Heat oil, crackle mustard seeds. Add chopped grapes and green chillies. I add whole green chillies as it imparts a unique flavour. You can omit these easily.
• Add salt, rock salt and fennel seeds powder.

 

• Cover and let it get soft for about 5 minutes. Then, using the back of the ladle crush them
• .Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of water. I add water as we like little syrup in the chutney. You can avoid this easily.
• Finally, add jaggery powder and cook for another 5 minutes till jaggery dissolves fully and the syrup gets thick. Colour will change as jaggery dissolves and it gets cooked. Do not cook much, as it will get thick once cooled. Remove Green Chillies.

 

• Serve with love, chapati and veggies optional.

I am sure you will straight away go to the kitchen, no no, no...first to the refrigerator then the kitchen and will immediately try out this yummy sweet n spicy chutney for your darlings.
