Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 red chili, sliced
2 teaspoons whole nigella seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
4–5 mangoes, peeled and diced
2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup white vinegar
Instructions
Heat the oil over medium-high in a medium stock pot. Saute the ginger, garlic and red chilies for a minute. Add the spices and saute for another minute. Add the diced mangoes, sugar, salt, and vinegar and stir to combine. Bring it to a rapid boil and reduce to medium-low. Steady simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
If you prefer smaller chunks, use a potato masher to mash the mixture to the desired consistency.
For storage, chutney will keep for a while because of the high acidity content. A conservative time frame would be up to 2 months in the fridge (in a sealed jar) or for several months in the freezer. Canning of course yields the longest shelf-life.
