Mango Chutney

A simple chutney made out of sweet and delicious ripe mangoes to go along as a dip for breads and chips, in a fresh salad or to add it into a quick fried rice for a hint of sweetness and tanginess.

Ingredients:

• Diced ripe mango 600 gm
• Sugar 150 gm
• White vinegar 60 ml
• Chopped Raisins 20 gm
• Chopped onion (small) 1 pc
• Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
• Red chilli flakes 3 tsp
• Salt 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Combine sugar and vinegar in a pot, boil it until the sugar dissolves
2. Add mango, onion and raisins. Let it cook for about 5 min on a high heat
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add ginger garlic paste, red chilli flakes and salt
4. Once the mixture starts bubbling reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25 min or until the mixture thickens slightly
5. Stir the mixture once every 5 min to not let it stick to the bottom
6. Turn off the heat and pour the mixture in to clean, air-tight hot jars*. Leave a half inch space on the top. Do not over-tighten the jars
7. If you want to seal the jars for more shelf life, put a rack on the bottom of a large pot. Place the jars on the rack. Fill it with water until it covers the jars by one inch. Bring the pot to a boil and continue it for about 15 min
8. Carefully remove the jars from the pot and let it cool down to room temperature

*To make the jars hot, either place the empty clean jars in boiling water or microwave the jars once cleaned properly
