Ingredients
2 large raw green mangoes (about 1 lb total), peeled and grated
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine grated mangoes, sugar, vinegar, water, ginger, salt, turmeric, and chili flakes. Stir well.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until the mixture thickens and the mango becomes tender.
Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds (if using) for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Grind coarsely using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
Add the ground spices to the chutney and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chutney reaches a jam-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer to a clean, sterilized jar. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Tips
For a smoother chutney, blend with an immersion blender after cooking.
Adjust sugar and chili to your taste preference.
Serve at room temperature with Indian snacks or as a side to grilled meats.
