Just as I was thinking the mangoes are done for the season, my cousin brings us a batch of big, plump green mangoes. Certainly, these were such huge treats. Along with making instant pickles, I wanted to add some to my weekly meal prep. Since my husband also did grocery shopping I had a lot of fresh coriander. Putting both together, the simplest recipe is to make a fresh batch of kacche aam ki chutney.

Ingredients to make green mango chutney
Mangoes: Raw mangoes are what we use as one of the main ingredients in this recipe. if you like a sour chutney you can use the firm green mangoes that have completely developed the seed. If you are like me and prefer a slight bit of sweetness in this recipe try a slightly yellowish pulp that has begun to ripen to make this chutney giving it a khatta meeta ( sweet-sour )flavour.
Coriander: the earthy green herb that forms a major flavour component of this green mango chutney is fresh coriander leaves. There is no substitute for this. However, you can use the stalks along with the coriander leaves to blend into a smooth paste. Ensure that the stalks are washed thoroughly and don’t carry any soil.
Green chilli: I like the sweet sour and spicy taste together in dips. Green chillies provide the heat. You can use frozen chillies like I have. The washed and stalk-removed chillies are directly stored in freezer safe bag. They go soft upon thawing but do not change or diminish in flavour and heat when frozen.
Salt: Other than the above ingredients we use only salt. You can use flaky sea salt or rock salt to make this recipe.

Let’s make this chutney
The most amount of work that you will have to do for this recipe is to clean the coriander leaves. Once they are washed well and set aside to drain, peel the mango and dice the pulp. Add this to the blender along with green chillies. Break the coriander stalks into one or two bits and add that too. Sprinkle salt and blend this with just enough water to form a thick smooth paste. The chutney is then ready.
Variations to kache aam ki chutney
The green mangoes make a delicious variation to the chutney when roasted. The whole mango is grilled over coal. The charred peel is removed along with the seed and the pulp is blended with the other ingredients to make chutney.
As a variation, you can add shallots and garlic to the ingredients. This will taste lovely with parathas too.
