Mango kutcha

Mango kutcha

Ingredients:
2 green mangoes
4 sliced red chillies
1 tablespoon turmeric
50 ml white vinegar
1 medium onion finely chopped
50 ml mustard oil
2 tablespoons crushed mustard seeds
1 tablespoon crushed ginger
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
salt to taste

Preparation:
Wash the mangoes. Coarsely grate into a bowl. Traditionally, the mango is crushed in a mortar and pestle. Kutcha means crushed.
Blend the turmeric powder into the vinegar to make a paste.
Over medium heat, put the mustard oil in a saucepan large enough to contain the mango kutcha. Stir fry the crushed ginger, garlic and sliced red chillies. Cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and turmeric mixture. Mix well. Add the finely chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated mango to the fried mixture. Add the crushed mustard seeds. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Serve hot or allow to cool down. Recommended as an accompaniment for dhal purees.
