Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized (about 1.5 lbs total) ripe mangoes
• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon ginger root, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh away from the pits. Chop the mango flesh into small cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, white vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 3

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, mustard seeds, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and crushed red chili flakes (if using) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Add the chopped mangoes to the spiced mixture along with the salt. Stir gently to coat the mango pieces evenly in the mixture.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

If using raisins, add them during the last 10 minutes of cooking. They will plump up and absorb the flavor of the chutney.

Step 7

Once the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the chutney cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the chutney into sterilized glass jars while still warm, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal tightly and allow to cool completely before storing.

Step 9

Store the chutney in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 3 months. For longer preservation, process the jars in a water bath for canning.
