Get the green unripe mangoes that are dark green in color and a little firm to the touch. You can also use frozen raw mangoes to make it.

To increase its shelf life, use a clean and dry spoon whenever you remove the chutney from the container and close the lid tightly after every use.

I do not recommend freezing this chutney as its texture changes when thawed. However, if you still have leftovers, transfer them to ziplock bags or ice cube trays and freeze them. You can use the frozen chutney to make green masala for curries and pulao.
