Cooking method:
Difficulty: beginner
Ingredients
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 Tbsp tamarind paste
  • 50 g sugar (palm, coconut or brown)
  • 50 ml of cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 stick of cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
  1. 1
    To prepare the spices: In a saucepan, heat the mustard seeds and cinnamon stick over medium heat until the seeds begin to crackle and release their aromas.
  2. 2
    Cooking the garlic, ginger and onions: Add the garlic, ginger and onion, then sauté for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned.
  3. 3

    Adding the mangoes and spices: Add the mango pieces, turmeric powder, chili powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well to coat the mangoes with the spices and sugar.

  4. 4
    Adding the tamarind and vinegar: Add the tamarind paste (or tamarind powder) and cider vinegar. Mix well, then simmer everything over low heat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and the mangoes should become tender.
  5. 5
    Cooling and storing: Remove the cinnamon stick and allow the chutney to cool before pouring it into a clean jar. This chutney can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Note

For optimal flavor, let the chutney sit for at least 24 hours before eating. This allows the flavors to develop and intensify.
