Mamidi Kaya Pacchadi (Mango Chutney)

1 green mango – peeled and cut into small pieces
2 green chilies
Marble sized Jaggery
¼ Tsp turmeric
1 tsp Salt (to taste)

Garnish:

1 tsp urad dal
½ tsp mustard seeds
¼ tsp fenugreek seeds
2 red chilies
¼ tsp asafetida

Heat 1 Tsp oil and fry fenugreek seeds, urad, mustard seeds, and red chilies -- add about 10-15 seconds apart. Add asafetida in the end. Set these aside.
Sauté the pieces of mango in 1 tsp oil.
Blend the mango, jaggery, green chilies, turmeric and salt. When it reaches the consistency of chutney – keep it relatively coarse, add the garnish and blend gently.

This tastes well with rice topped with 1 tsp oil.
