How To Make Green Mango Chutney
Wash the green mangoes and wipe them with a paper towel. Peel the skin using a sharp knife and cut the flesh into small pieces. Discard the seeds. We need ½ cup of chopped flesh.
Wash the cilantro and mint leaves. We will need 3 cups of cilantro (packed) and 1 cup of mint (packed).
Chop 2-3 green chilies and a 2-inch piece of ginger and peel 1-2 garlic cloves.
Add 3 cups (packed) cilantro, 1 cup (packed) mint, 2 teaspoon chopped green chillies, 2-inch piece of ginger (chopped), 1-2 cloves of garlic (peeled), ½ cup chopped green mango flesh, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon asafetida (hing), and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds to a blender or a food processor along with ¼ cup of chilled water.
Tip – You can add 1-2 ice cubes while blending the chutney to retain the bright green color for longer.
Blend to make a smooth chutney.
Tip – Sometimes, the herbs don’t come in contact with the blade of the blender and the blending process doesn’t start. In that case, push the herbs down with a spatula a few times.
Check for salt and add more if needed.
Serve the chutney chilled or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions
Green mango and coriander chutney taste great when served with Indian snacks such as pakora, samosa, kachori, dhokla, etc.
You can also add it to your chaat recipes for that extra tanginess. I often make a big batch and enjoy it on the side with our everyday Indian meals
You can slather it on sandwiches, burgers, wraps, kathi rolls, or serve it with South Indian breakfast such as idli, dosa, upma, uttapam, paniyarams, etc.
It also tastes great with tikka or tandoori recipes such as chicken tikka, chicken tandoori, fish tikka, paneer tikka, etc.
Serve it as a side dish with any Indian meal to perk up the flavors.
Storage Suggestions
This chutney will last in the fridge for about a week when stored properly in an airtight container or a sealed jar.
To increase its shelf life, use a clean and dry spoon every time you take out 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. You can use the frozen chutney to make green masala for curries and pulao.
