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.

Here I am with this delectable yet simple mango chutney with gur. You have two recipes here. Both are extremely simple recipes to make mango chutney.

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

1/2 tsp- roasted methi dana powder (optional)

1 tbsp- sesame seeds/til (or melon seeds)

Procedure

1. Grate mangoes using a grater.
2. Collect all dry ingredients except sesame seeds.
3. Add all these ingredients one by one to the grated mangoes. DO NOT ADD SESAME SEEDS and VINEGAR.
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.
