Sweet Mango Chutney With Jaggery: Aam Chunda With Gur Powder/Shakkar



Raw mango chutney is loved by one and all. The only thing that stops me from making this sweet and tangy chutney is its sweet part. Yes, it uses a good amount of sweetness. Ideally mango chutney is made with sugar. But I tend to avoid sugar wherever I can. So I have gone ahead with making the raw mango chutney with jaggery/gur. I had bought jaggery from my home town of Patiala and it came in handy for this easy mango chutney recipe with gur.


Last year, I had tried the mango chutney taking inspiration from Anita Chahal aunty ji.
 I have been trying to avoid making this chutney, since it uses a good amount of sugar/sweetener. Nevertheless I could not stop myself from making mango chutney for the season after Anita Chahal aunty ji posted the raw mango chutney in our food group  Healthy Recipes by Homemakers.

My mouth started to water every time I scrolled down the page and came across aunty ji's chutney. The day she had shared raw mango dip was my Savitri Amavasya fast. So I promised to treat myself to this tasty. tangy chutney after fast.




Ingredients
4 unripe mangoes (1 cup when grated)
1 cup-jaggery (add more or less depending on your sweet tooth)
1/2 tsp- black salt (more or less)
1 tsp- kalonji (nigella seeds)
1 tsp- saunf (fennel seeds)
1 tsp- jeera (cumin seeds)
2 tbsp- water






































































How to make instant aam chunda/chutney

Add water to a 2 or 3-liter pressure cooker.
Next add grated mango and spread as a layer.
Top the layer with a layer of jaggery powder, salt, kalonji, saunf, and jeera.
Pressure cook on a medium-high flame for 7 minutes.
Release the pressure.
Open the lid and mix everything well.
Your instant aam chutney is ready to be relished.

Ingredients

3 mangoes (grated)
1 tsp- salt/black salt
6-8 jaggery pieces (as shown in the video )- you may use sugar 1/2 cup instead- depending on the sweetness you want in the chutney - mine was khatti meethi

Procedure


  1. Grate mangoes using a grater.

  4. Mix everything and cover.
  5. Keep it covered overnight.
  6. Next day, you will find that mangoes have released water.
  7. Mixing all ingredients with mangoes in the night and keeping them covered will help in the mangoes absorbing all the masala. Remember, we will be adding the gur pieces as well. You may either use gur pieces as is or grate them, as per your wish. If you are using sugar, add it to the mangoes and keep the contents covered.
  8. Transfer the ingredients to a nonstick pan.
  9. Heat on a low flame. Keep stirring intermittently.
  10. Add sesame seeds and keep stirring.
  11. When the chutney is still raw, add vinegar.
  12. Keep mixing
  13. It took me almost 45-50mts to get the desired consistency.
  14. Your sweet 'n tangy mango chutney is ready.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
