About the recipe
With its sweet, spicy flavour and generous chunks of juicy fresh mango, this traditional chutney is as good as any you’ll get in your local Indian restaurant. Serve it alongside all kinds of curries or with cold ham, chicken or game. It’s fantastic in cheese sandwiches, too.
Recipe From
Ingredients
2kg mangos (firm, but ripe)
8 cardamom pods
2 cloves garlic
1 fresh red chilli
500ml white wine vinegar
400g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon chilli powder
2 teaspoon nigella seeds
8cm piece of ginger
Method
- Peel, stone and roughly chop the mangos; set aside.
- Remove the cardamom seeds from the pods. Peel and finely chop the garlic, then trim and finely chop the chilli.
- Add the vinegar and sugar to a large pan over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and reduce by a couple of centimetres.
- Gently toast the cumin, coriander and cardamom seeds until aromatic, then crush with the chilli powder using a pestle and mortar. Add to the vinegar pan, along with the chopped mango, nigella seeds and 2 teaspoons of sea salt.
- Finely grate in the ginger, add the garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it has a thick, syrupy consistency, adding the chopped chilli for the last 10 minutes.
- Divide among sterilised jars, seal and keep for up to 6 months.
