Aam Chutney (Mango-Chile Chutney)

We made this recipe as well as corn flatbread, these two together are really tasty, this mango chuntey is very spicy, we used 6 dried red chiles, in the middle of the cooking, I took most of them out, otherwise it would be too spicy. Our family love these wonderful recipes.
