Raw Mango Chutney: An Economical Recipe

Compare the prices of one kg amchoor with that of one kg raw mangoes and you will clearly understand what I am saying. There is a huge difference and making this chutney with raw mangoes is thus far more economical than making it with amchoor or with tamarind.

Long Shelf Life Of Raw Mango Chutney

Just like Amchoor chutney, even this chutney has a long shelf life and remains good easily for 6 to 8 months in the refrigerator. You can increase this shelf life by keeping it in the freezer. Just ensure that you cook it well till no extra moisture is left therein.

And then, you can always dilute it in batches by adding hot water.

No Adulteration In Raw Mango Chutney

When using amchoor powder there is always a fear of adulteration but with fresh raw mangoes, no such fear is there. You know what you are using. so, prefer using raw mangoes as far as possible.

Even in Dals and curries, you can use raw mango puree instead of amchoor powder.

Type Of Raw mangoes For Making Aam Panna

There are many varieties of raw mangoes available but you can take any variety of raw mangoes for making this chutney. Just ensure that it is raw. Should not be soft or yellowish from inside. While choosing raw mangoes, hold it in your hand and go for hard and tight ones. Even if it is slightly loose then drop it.

Aam ki launji has a short shelf life, maximum 15 days but this meethi chutney has a long shelf lfe. Also, the tastes of two are miles apart. So, please do not compare the two.
