To prepare Aam ki Launji, a tangy and sweet raw mango chutney, you will need the following ingredients:



Ingredients:

  • 2 raw mangoes, peeled and cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (saunf)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nigella seeds (kalonji)
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup jaggery, grated or powdered (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Here's a step-by-step guide to making Aam ki Launji:

  1. Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and nigella seeds. Saute for a few seconds until the seeds release their aroma.

  2. Add the chopped raw mangoes to the pan and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the pan. Mix everything together to coat the mangoes with the spices.

  4. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Allow the mangoes to cook for about 5 minutes, or until they become slightly soft.

  5. Add grated or powdered jaggery to the pan, along with a little water. Stir well to combine. Adjust the amount of jaggery according to your desired level of sweetness.

  6. Cover the pan and cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mangoes are completely soft and the jaggery has melted, forming a thick syrup. If the mixture appears dry, you can add a little more water.

  7. Once the mangoes are cooked and the syrup has thickened, remove the pan from heat.

  8. Allow the Aam ki Launji to cool down to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

  9. Garnish the Aam ki Launji with fresh coriander leaves.

  10. Serve the Aam ki Launji as a side dish or condiment with Indian meals. It pairs well with roti, paratha, or rice. You can also enjoy it as a sweet and tangy chutney on its own.

  11. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be stored for a few days and enjoyed as a delicious accompaniment to various dishes.

Aam ki Launji is a delightful way to enjoy the flavors of raw mangoes in a sweet and tangy form.
