My good friend Al makes the best mango chutney. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, sour and chilli hot and it’s got good textural bite. Spread generously inside a cheese toasty, serve alongside a summer roast chicken, or add some soy sauce and mirin to make the perfect dipping sauce for tempura or summer rolls. Or do the purist’s thing, and eat with poppadoms, raita and your favourite curry. It’s quick to prep, lasts for several months in the fridge and makes the perfect gift for friends, if you make a good-sized batch.
RECIPE -
Add oil to a large saucepan (for which you have the lid) and sauté the garlic ginger paste and chilli over a medium heat for 1 minute.
-
Now add all the dried spice mix and sauté for another minute.
-
Add the diced mango, sugar and salt, and stir well. When all the mango is coated in the spice mix, add the vinegar and bring to a rapid boil.
-
Once rolling, pop the lid on, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour keeping a close eye. If it starts to look dry, add a small amount of water to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Al kindly shared his recipe with me, so I can with you - thanks Al!
