Raw Mango Chutney

With the seasons changing and the summer advancing, the markets are flooded with raw mangoes these days. While I am eagerly waiting for the ripe mango to hit the market, I remembered some of the recipes that were made by my mom during summer. Summer would mean an endless variety of dishes made with mango. Starting with this recipe of Mango chutney in late February to the ripe mango curry  with fish in May . In between we would have different varieties of mango pickle being made in the house.
