Aam Ki Launji, Sweet and Sour Mango Chutney
Aam Ki Launji is packed full of flavors, creating a wonderful combination of sweet, spicy, and sour. This can be used as a side dish or as a condiment. My favorite way to serve Aam Ki Launji is with stuffed parathas. This is a quick and easy recipe that adds a lot to your palette!
- 2-1/2 cup raw cooking mango (cut into byte size pieces, I used 1 mango)
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 3 dry red chilies (cut into pieces)
- 1/8 tsp asafetida (hing)
- 1/4 tsp nigella seeds (kalonji)
- 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi dana)
- 1 tsp fennel seed (saunf)
- 2 tsp coriander powder (dhania)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (haldi)
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar (use as needed)
- 1/4 cup water
Heat the oil in a heavy bottom pan, over low heat. When oil is just warm add all the ingredients except sugar, red chilies and asafetida, fennel seeds, nigella seeds, fenugreek seeds, coriander powder, red chili, turmeric, sugar and salt sauté for few seconds.
- Add the mango cubes, mix well add about 1/4 cup of water mix it well cover the pan. And let it cook on a medium heat for 7-8 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- After mangoes are cooked they are soft and tender add sugar and turn off the heat and cover the pan for few minutes.
- Once Aam Ki Launji is cooled, you can refrigerate. For up to a week.
Notes
For this recipe, raw cooking mango works the best. These mangoes are now available year around in most Indian grocery stores. You may find that sometimes the mangoes have already started ripening and the color is not white when you slice inside, but it will still work. You can also use mangoes that are not ripe enough and too sour to eat for this recipe. If you think that the mango still needs some sourness, add in mango powder.
