Mint-Mango Chutney

I love mango season when market is full of loads of mangoes in both forms raw as well as ripe.Here I used mint leaves and raw mango to make this chutney.This chutney is very good for summers as mint has ability to sooth our digestive system.The sourness from raw mangoes gives it a tanginess.

Mint Leaves 1 bunch

Mango(raw) 1

Green Chillies 3-4

Salt


Method

1. Pick the mint leaves from the bunch and clean them under running water.Peel the skin off the mango,clean it and cut it into slices.Discard the stone.

2. Take mint leaves,green chillies,mango slices in a grinder and add little water to grind it into a paste.

3. Take out in a bowl and add salt.Mix it well and it's ready to serve with any meal or snack.
