Uppumanga Chammanthi Recipe – Uppumanga Chalichathu Recipe – Salted Mango Chutney

Who all are in favor of chammanthi/chutney? I do… What about uppumanga / brined mangoes? Oooh yes… And how about if we make Uppumanga Chammanthi? Yaaeeee!!!, Exactly, that is our today’s special!!! A blend of classic and comfort recipe straight from land of coconut (Kerala).

Whenever I taste chammanthi, I remember the saying. “chammanthi undankil, verorru curriyum venda”(means if there is chutney/chammanthi, you need not have any other curry). And often I related that statement as a laziness to cook more dishes, but ofcourse not!!!.
This is the chammanthi that my mom makes very often and I have no idea why 🙂 she used to pair it with kanji for a simple and comforting weeknight dinner. So this has been on my mind forever, but since we rarely get tender mangoes here I could not make one. But finally when I found these little cuites in Indian stores, I bought and did brine it. Oh yeah! your right, even I did a posting on how to brine mangoes.

To continue…., here u go the chutney with salted mangoes in brine . It’s a simple chammanthi /chutney to put together, and very flexible too. You can also choose to make it with grated coconut or without it – either way, it’s delicious. ENJOY!
