Ingredients
- 2 small Mango Ambi, raw
- 1.25 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder aka haldi
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder aka Lal Mirch
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Wash, dry and peel raw mangoes. Grate them or chop into thin slices.
- Take a heavy bottomed wok. Add the grated mango, sugar and salt to it. Mix them well. Start cooking this mixture over low flame.
- Keep stirring to avoid crystallization of sugar. Sugar will melt and leave water. Cook till the mixture thickens to a 1-string consistency. Don't overcook as this mixture further thickens up when it cools off.
- The Mango Chunda is ready! Serve it with Paratha or rice!

Notes
- Sugar when added leaves water. Let that extra water be boiled off and then close the flame. The chutney becomes slightly thicker once sugar is absorbed by the mangoes.
- Make sure to switch off when 1-string consistency is obtained. Overcooking can make the mango chunda hard.
