Green Mango Chutney | Thogayal | Chammanthi: I had been preparing Mango Chutney two ways; one was using green chillies and the other one with dry red chillies. The red chilli version  taught by my neighbour will be shared in a later post. Both versions go well with idli dosa and with rice. When prepared for rice add less water while grinding and no need for tempering.

The tangy taste from the mangoes gives a different dimension to this normal chutney. This is a traditional Kerala chammanthi  recipe. Really a flavourful chutney to be prepared during this mango season. The chutney looks similar to normal chutney but the taste and flavour varies from that of a  normal chutney.
