Homemade Aamras Recipe (Raw Mango Chutney)

Aamras is another raw mango chutney. Made with raw mango pulp, sugar, salt, spices and water. A delicious year round pickle to lift up your meals.

As promised last month, I am back with another raw mango recipe which we made while at mom’s house. The recipe is very simple and requires minimal cooking. The only tough step is the cleaning and slicing of mangoes.

The recipe of this aamras is similar and interchangeable with raw mango chutney I shared last month. The taste is more simple than chutney but if you are a lover of more spicy and rich version, you can easily swap it.

This was my first attempt with helping mom out with making chutney or aamras and I loved the experience, bonus was that I get to learn from a great cook herself. Her experiences are unparalleled and the way she cooks always make me learn something new. This one is for you mom. I love you!!

Notes

1. I have not added any preservative and simply refrigerated. But if you intend to make a bigger batch and use over a longer period of time, then I suggest adding soda benzoate to preserve.
2. It is best to let the mango pulp marinate for 2-3 hours with salt and jaggery, it lends an amazing flavor and shorten the work further of cooking. If you do not get a chance to marinate then also it is OK to add salt, jagerry and all other spices together at the time of cooking. You may need to add little water to the pulp while cooking if the pulp is not marinated.
3. You may need to adjust jaggery as per the sweetness required.
4. You can add more flavor my adding dried mint leaves in the pulp while cooking.
5. Recipe of this aamras is similar and interchangeable with raw mango chutney I shared last month.
