Mango chutney / Maamidi kaaya thokku pachadi

This is like an instant pickle but with little salt and oil. Can go as a nice companion with rice. This will taste more delicious when pounded in a hand mortar rather than in electric grinders.
Mango chutney
Ingredients:
2 medium raw mangoes
Roasted Chili - 4-5 or Chili powder - 2 tsp
Salt as per taste

For seasoning -
Oil - 1 tbsp

This is also a nice companion for any daal recipe
