Khatti-Meethi Chutney
About Khatti-Meethi Chutney
This is my Nani's recipe that She and my mum would make every summer when our mango tree would be laden with unripe mangoes ready to be plucked for making pickles and chutneys. I have fond memories of the two of them at work, on hot summer afternoons , making huge batches to last the coming year.

Recipe Notes
My Tip:
The quantity of sugar depends on sourness of the Kairi and thus can be decreased or increased accordingly.
