Author Notes

South Indian style applesauce? , Not quite, actually this is a quick sweet n savory chutney known as pachadi . Usually made with green mangoes, the condiment has flavors for each taste bud type, sweet, sour, salty and even a hint of bitter from the toasted fenugreek added in the tempering. And loads of umami . —Panfusine
