Instructions

Method:

  1. Wash, peel and chop green mango and add to Instant Pot’s inner pot.
  2. Then deseed the dates, and add to green mango (to deseed the dated slit the date vertically with a knife, split the date from the slit and remove the seed).
  3. Add 2 cup of water to mango and dates, close the lid of the Instant Pot and pressure cook on high level for 5 minutes, NPR.
  4. When pressure is released and the pressure pin pops down, remove the lid and switch to sauté mode at normal heat level.
  5. Now blend the boiled green mango and dates using immersion blender.
  6. After blending add the spices, salt, roasted cumin powder, black rock salt, red chili powder and garam masala.
  7. Also add julienned ginger, roasted whole cumin seeds, melon seeds. chironji nuts, cinnamon sticks and star anise.
  8. Stir everything and let the chutney simmer on sauté mode for 5 minutes.
  9. Do a taste test and accordingly add sweetner, in this recipe I have used jaggery as sweetner.
  10. Also add water to adjust the consistency of chutney. Once done consistency of chutney should be thick enough to coat the back of spatula or spoon.
  11. After 15 minutes of simmering, turn off the Instant Pot and allow the Meethi Chutney to cool down completely. Upon cooling the chutney will further thicken down.
  12. Transfer this Meethi chutney to clean and dry glass jars and store in refrigerator.
  13. Before serving top it with some fresh fruits, like banana, grapes and pomegranates.

Notes

  • Making roasted cumin powder at is very easy, just roast handful of cumin seeds on low heat in a pan, keep stiring for even browning and brown until you start getting nice aroma and dark brown color. Switch of the heat and let them cool down a bit, and then grind them into powder using a spice grinder or dry jar of nutribullet. Store in a clean and dry jar for later use.
