Print Recipe

A vibrant and flavorful mango chutney that adds a splash of personality to any dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (neutral-tasting)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (finely minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 red chili (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons whole nigella seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large mangoes (about 300 grams each, peeled and diced)
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Dice the mangoes and set them aside. Mince your ginger and garlic, and slice your red chili (remove seeds for less heat).
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat until sizzles when you add ginger and garlic.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add minced ginger and garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the Spices: Toss in red chili, nigella seeds, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. Stir for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
  5. Incorporate the Mangoes: Add diced mangoes and stir to coat with the spices. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat until they start to break down.
  6. Sweeten the Pot: Pour in sugar and vinegar, stir until sugar dissolves, then cook for another 15-20 minutes on low heat until syrupy.
  7. Check Your Consistency: Ensure chutney is thick and glossy, simmering longer if needed.
  8. Cool and Store: Once thickened, remove from heat, let cool, and store in a sterilized jar in the fridge for up to a month.

Notes

Consider adding fresh herbs or spices for variations. Store in a clean, airtight jar for freshness.
