RAW MANGO COCONUT CHUTNEY

Pro Tips to Keep the Chutney Drama-Free
For the best flavor, use semi-ripe mango if the raw one is too sour. Always roast the watermelon seeds for added nuttiness. Add mango in stages while grinding to balance the sourness. Use freshly grated coconut or frozen (thawed) for the best texture. Don't skip the tempering—it adds aroma and crunch. Adjust green chillies to taste. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for a day, but avoid keeping too long to retain freshness.
