Mint Chutney with Raw Mango and Ghost Chilli (Podina, Kaccha Aam and Bhut Jolokia Chutney)


There are many different Mint chutney recipes but my favourite one is with Mint chutney with raw mango or unripe mango. As the unripe mango is tangy in taste,  the taste of this mint chutney is also tangy. The mint in the chutney gives a nice aromatic flavour.  The chillies used in the chutney makes it hot.  So this Mint Chutney with Raw Mango and Ghost Chilli (Podina, Kaccha Aam and Bhut Jolokia Chutney) is a hot and sour chutney with a strong mint smell which automatically brings water to our mouth on the very mention of it.

Ahom Bogori (Peach)

Ahom Bogori (Assamese আহোম বগৰী)  in English is called Peach. It's scientific name is Prunus persica. Peaches resembles and closely related to apricots and plums. Peaches are soft when ripened and are very delicious. Unlike apricot and plum, peaches have one large middle seed.  As I googled I found that peach fruit was domesticated and cultivated for the first time in Northwest China. It's a summer fruit and largely available in Assam. It is believed that the name ' Ahom bogori ' is derived from the Kingdom of Ahom . It may be because the Ahoms have brought with them the seeds of peach.  Ahom is a large community originally from the Chinese province of Yunnan, which is located on Southwest China. From Yunnan, they migrated into Myanmar and then after crossing the Patkai Mountains entered Assam. The Ahoms have established their dynasty and ruled the Ahom Kingdom, the present day Assam for about 600 years.  We call this fruit as ahom bogori from childhood....
