Ingredients

• 2 cups (peeled, deseeded, and diced) Ripe papaya
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups White vinegar
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and dice it into small cubes measuring about ½-inch each.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them sizzle until they start to pop, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the diced papaya to the pan and stir well to combine with the aromatics.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar, white vinegar, and water to the pan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the red chili powder, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir to evenly coat the papaya.

Step 7

Add the raisins and mix well.

Step 8

Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Let the mixture cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the papaya becomes soft and the chutney thickens.

Step 9

Once done, remove the chutney from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the chutney into a sterilized jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 11

Serve as a condiment with your favorite dishes or enjoy as a spread.
