In this blog post, we will delve into two distinct methods for crafting Traditional Pakistani Mango Chutney. One approach involves the traditional stovetop preparation, while the other offers a raw, uncooked variation. Both of these techniques yield chutneys of exceptional flavor and can be prepared with remarkable swiftness.
WHAT IS MANGO CHUTNEY?
Mango Chutney, a cherished condiment in both Indian and Pakistani culinary traditions, is distinguished by its core ingredient, the mango. Within the context of this blog, we shall embark on an exploration of two distinct approaches for crafting Traditional Pakistani Mango Chutney. One method involves traditional stovetop cooking, while the other showcases a raw, uncooked variation.
These methods are characterized by their simplicity and versatility, making them ideal companions for a wide range of Pakistani appetizers, including Beef Samosas, Chicken Samosas, and even Chicken Gola Kabab. This delectable Pakistani dip is a culinary gem that should be readily available in your repertoire.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT MANGO CHUTNEY
- Pick mangos that are ripe and in good condition, suitable for eating fresh or for cooking. They shouldn't be too soft or too hard; just as ripe as you would enjoy them fresh. You can also use firm, non-stringy green mangoes.
- In the uncooked chutney variation, employ a blender by using a pulsing technique rather than continuous blending. Pulse the mixture for one second, followed by a one-second pause, and repeat this process five to six times. The objective is to achieve a texture akin to that of oatmeal, rather than a liquid consistency.
- In the cooked version after its done cooking, let it cool down before adding the chutney to a dry air-tight jar.
INGREDIENTS
- Mango- As I stated above please get only ripe and mangos that are in good condition to eat or cook.
- Black Salt- I believe that the inclusion of tangy salt is essential in any chutney with a tangy flavor profile.
