What's a good mango chutney recipe?

Answer 1

MANGO CHUTNEY

Yields 1 cup

Ingredients:

2 cups of fresh mango pieces (about 1” in size)

1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely minced

2-3 tbsp of sugar (you can use Splenda For Cooking)

1 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola)

½ tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp black mustard seeds

1 bay leaf

2-4 small dried red chilies

salt to taste

METHOD:

In a small saucepan on medium low heat, add the mango pieces. Then add the bay leaf, ginger and sugar. The amount of sugar may vary depending upon the natural sweetness of the mango, so add it according to your own personal taste. Let cook for 8-10 minutes until the mango has slightly broken down and become soft.

In a small skillet on medium high, add the oil. When hot, slowly add the black mustard seeds. Once they have stopped splattering, add cumin seeds and dried red chilies. Sauté until the spices start to sizzle and after a few seconds, directly pour over the mango. Serve with your favorite meal. Keep refrigerated and eat within 1 week.

VARIATIONS:

You could use this same basic process to make delicious pineapple, papaya, peach, date, fig, apricot or green apple chutney. Also, try adding some raisins during the cooking process for another layer of flavor.
