A quick to make Mango Carrot Chutney is a riot of flavours and textures, and is best served with any South Indian Breakfast or with any flatbread like Roti or Paratha. 100% Gluten Free and Vegan too!
As chutneys go, we simply love them as a family; always on the look out for new combos that are both seasonal and tantalising. As the mango season was recently upon us, this lip smacking Raw Mango + Carrot chutney was made so many times, we simply lost count, each with a slight variation each time. I had to document one of the ways we loved it.
Chutneys are primarily accompaniments or condiments that are used to enhance a meal or even served with breakfast (20+ varieties here!) They can be dry or wet, depending on the regional cuisine. Can be 100% lentil based like this Paruppu Thogayal or the Inji Thogayal or can be vegetable based like Mixed Veg Peel Chutney this new family favourite Potlakaya Pachadi (Andhra style snakegourd chutney) or this seasonal Raw Mango-Carrot Chutney

Tips to make this Mango + carrot chutney more yummy!
- Use tart mango (raw) for this. If the mango isnt very tart, add more tamarind or lemon juice
- You can sub or omit the carrot here, but it really balances the tart from the mango along with giving it body
- If omitting the carrot, increase the quantity of coconut, jaggery and chillies for this recipe.
- This chutney can keep upto 2 days in the fridge.
- You can add shallots /garlic to this chutney too (saute them well before grinding). If using shallots, grind this chutney to a coarse consistency, like a Roti Pachadi than a runny chutney.
- If you don’t have fried gram / daliya on hand, sub with roasted (and skinned) peanuts – skip peanuts for nut allergy though !
