Aam ki Launji | Sweet and spicy mango Chutney | Raw mango chutney | Aam ki khatti meethi chutney | Aam ki Launji recipe with step by step instructions
Gluten free and dairy free Aam ki Launji | Sweet and spicy mango Chutney | Raw mango chutney is an instant Rajasthani style chutney.
It’s a sweet and sour relish/pickle made by cooking raw green mango pieces with jaggery or sugar along with basic Indian cooking spices.
The addition of whole spices give it a nice aroma while jaggery and chilli powder gives its hot and sweet character.
This chutney tastes best with dal rice, sabzi-roti or even parathas. It’s a great side dish to Indian meals. Indian thali is incomplete without these kind of pickles.
For me makingĀ Kachi kairi ki chutney/raw mango chutney, Aam pannaĀ and Aam panna popsiclesĀ is a ritual during summer season.

Mustard seeds, Nigella seeds, Saunf (fennel seeds), Methi dana/Fenugreek seeds, whole cumin, Pink salt and red chili powder.
