Chunda | Hot Sweet Sour Mango Pickle Or Raw Mango Jam

Chunda / Hot sweet sour mango pickle is a traditional pickle made in Gujarat with the spicy,sweet n sour flavours blending in equal proportions.Traditionally, making this pickle is a very tedious process as the pickle is kept outside in the sun for around 30 days,each day giving a good stir and then brought indoors at dusk.This repeats till the mangoes turn translucent and the sugar is syrup in consistency.But now a days we hardly find time to do the elaborate process and so this is a simplified version of the pickle.We loved eating it with chicken -dum-biriyani,serves as a perfect side dish with the spicy biriyani.Hope you guys will enjoy making this !!!



Ingredients
raw mangoes 2 cups tightly grated
sugar 3 cups
chilly powder 2-3 tbsp
roasted cumin crushed 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
salt 2 tsp


Method
-Wash,peel the mangoes and grate using the large grater holes.Keep aside,add salt and turmeric powder.Leave for 15-30 mins.Then add sugar keep mixing until the sugar is dissolved.
-Heat a pan and add this mix over the stove,keep stirring till you reach 1 string consisitency.
-Turn off heat and add chilly powder,roasted crushed cumin,toss well.Let it cool down completely before storing.



NOTES
* You can make half the quantity or double the quantity by just halving or doubling the ingredients,vice versa.
* Use the larger grater holes for grating mangoes else the mangoes will become completely cooked.
* Turn off the heat immediately after reaching one string consistency and move the pan from residual heat else the sugar will crystallize.

@Marisa G Hi Marisa,You can use any other spice equivalent to chilly powder like paprika..but totally avoiding spice wouldn't get it right :)

This looks wonderful- consider it pinned- been looking for a simple mango chutney recipe for ages, so thank you for this. It's even better because we can never get 30 days of sunshine for pickle making here anyway!
