Maangai thuvayal / Raw mango chutney


A very simple, no-cook dish. I love it from my childhood. When my mom makes it I will be waiting nearby her to get that first tasting experience. Remembered it after a long time and asked my mom for the recipe and here it is for you all. The fresh smell of raw mango, pearl onions, green chillies and ginger makes this dish divine !!!

Ingredients :

Raw mango- 1 small, sour one
Pearl onions / shallots - 2-5 nos, depending on its size
Green chillies- 4 nos
Coconut piece- 2 big ones
Ginger- a small piece
Salt to taste

Method :

Cut everything into pieces and grind them together using a food processor. Maangai thuvayal will be ready. It tastes excellent with rice congee, pazhaya saadham ( previous day rice soaked in water), curd rice and also makes an excellent companion for idlies.

Taste enhancing tips for this recipe : Never do tempering. Use only fresh coconut. You can also use red chillies in the place of green ones. Do not forget ginger.  Happy cooking !!!

  21. Sounds so simple. Will try this version with out any tadka.
    I always go with Andhra style chutneys and love to bite on the coarsely ground tadka ingredients. :)

  22. Swathi chammanthi is the right word :) its a keralite way of preparation.

    Thank you very much friends :)

    Suma please do try it. It tastes very different from Andhra style chutneys and the highlight of this chutney is the raw smell of all the ingredients...if you make a tadka that will be totally lost. The smell of tadka will overpower the real smell and taste of ingredients :)
