Sweet Raw Mango Chutney (Methamba) (Jam)

This is the season of Mangoes.. The King of fruits.

Mangoes are widely used in Indian Cuisine.

In Maharashtra, a spicy, sweet and sour semi-solid side-dish called meth-amba is made from unripe mango slices, jaggery and fenugreek seeds. They can be served with poories and polies, like jam.

This is one of my favorite recipe using 'Raw Mango'.  This recipe has tangy and sweet taste. That's the reason this dish is kids favorite.
