This is a traditional Andhra / Telangana style Raw Mango Chutney. iI is called as 'pachadi' in the local lingo. There are many ways of preparing this simple and easy side dish. Sometimes it is ground raw and at other times it is sauteed in oil with other ingredients and then ground to a smooth paste. A tempering of mustard seeds, split urad dal (split black gram) and curry leaves is then poured over the end product. This spicy and tangy chutney is then served with dosa, idli, uttapam, appam, khichdi, rice-ghee combo, pongal or chapatis. During the season, it can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. In that case, the quantity of oil is increased for preserving it in the form of a pickle. It can also be had, mixed with hot steamed rice and ghee. It simply tastes yummy. Be a bit more adventurous and try this amazing homemade chutney as a spread on pizzas and burgers for an Indian touch. It will turn into a finger licking and delectable meal.
Nice one.
