Indulge in the rich, sweet, and tangy flavors of our Mango Chutney, a perfect blend of ripe mangoes and aromatic Indian spices. Ideal for enhancing roasted meats or as a flavorful dip for snacks like samosas and chicken pakora, it's a versatile addition to any meal.
Begin by heating oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped ginger, garlic, and red chili until they emit a fragrant aroma.
Next, add coriander, cumin, and cardamom powder to the pan, seasoning with salt to your liking. Stir the mixture until the spices are well combined.
Add diced ripe mangoes to the pan, mixing them thoroughly with the seasoned aromatics.
Pour in 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of vinegar into the pan, blending well with the mango mixture.
Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a slightly sticky consistency.
Using a food masher, mash the mangoes to achieve your desired consistency. For a smoother chutney, mash completely, or leave some chunks for a more textured feel.
Continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chutney thickens and the mangoes turn a golden color.
Once done, remove the pan from heat and allow the chutney to cool. After cooling, the Mango Chutney is ready to be served or stored for later use.
To Serve
Enjoy this Mango Chutney, a sweet and spicy treat that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. It's an ideal complement to meats and vegetables, and equally delicious as a spread on sandwiches or a burger topping, enhancing any meal with its unique flavor.
Notes
Tips for Perfect Mango Chutney:
Choosing Mangoes: Opt for ripe mangoes to ensure a sweet and rich flavor. Fresh mangoes are ideal, but canned or frozen mangoes can be used for convenience. If using canned mangoes, remember to drain them first. For frozen mangoes, thaw them to room temperature before use.
Sour Taste - The sour taste in this chutney comes from vinegar, which also helps preserve the chutney for a longer time
