Notes

Instead of adding dried whole red chilies, you can add some chili flakes.
The amount of sweetener will depend upon how sour the mangoes are.
Don't mash the mangoes completely, keep a few small chunks, they taste really good in this chutney.
The spices get burned very fast so after heating the oil, keep the flame on medium.
Instead of chopping the mangoes, you can also grate them and then use them in the recipe.
Adjust the amount of water depending on the consistency you want.
