Additional recipe notes
Instant Pot Method Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal) mode. Once hot, add oil. Add mustard seeds and let them start to pop. Then add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, kalonji, and hing. Sauté for 30 to 45 seconds until the spices are fragrant and the fenugreek seeds start to change color. Add diced mangoes, salt, and water. Mix well, then cancel sauté mode. Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 2 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, do a Quick Release. Open the lid carefully and check the mangoes-they should be tender but not mushy. Turn the Instant Pot back to Sauté (Low) mode. Add jaggery, Kashmiri chili powder, and chaat masala. Stir and cook just until the jaggery melts and the chutney comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the Instant Pot. Let the chutney cool completely before transferring to a clean glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
