Instant Khatti Meethi Chutney recipe (2024)

Method

1. Place the jaggery on a clean, dry surface and chop it into tiny pieces. The jaggery is the sole sweetness provider in this recipe and hence replaces the dates in a khajur chutney.
   
2. Add chopped jaggery in a saucepan. Add the dried mango powder, cumin seeds powder, chilli powder, garam masala, salt and ½ cup of water and mix well.
   
3. The addition of dried mango powder gives a really nice tanginess to compliment the sweetness of the jaggery, red chilli powder gives this chutney a spicy kick while the garam masala provides different flavors from different spices to this instant khatti meethi chutney.
   
4. Cook on a slow flame for 8-10 minutes or till all the ingredients dissolve properly and till the chutney thickens lightly, while stirring occasionally. The time may vary a little bit depending on the size of the chopped jaggery.
5. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use as and when required.
