Mango Chutney
From
Rasamalaysia.com
Yields about 340 g
Ingredients
1 ripe but firm green
mango (450 -500 g)
1 sticks cinnamon (about 2 inch)
2 whole cloves
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
2 cardamom pods, cracked
1 tsp ginger, grated
2-3 whole dry red chilies
1 clove garlic, crushed
3/4 cup demerara sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
3/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
Method:
Cut the mango into 1 inch cubes and for chunky chutney, keep some
pieces about 2 inch. If you are looking for smooth, cut them all
in same size.
Using a piece of thin muslin cloth, tie up the spices into a bundle.
Cook the mango, spices (in the muslin cloth), water, ginger and garlic
until the mango is tender. Some pieces will disintegrate into the
water. Takes about 10 minutes.
Add the vinegar, sugar, salt and dry chilies. I like to break 1 red
chilly into flakes and keep 1 whole. If you want and are feeling
adventurous you can go up on the chilies. The sugar requirement may
also vary depending on the sweetness of your mango and personal
preference. Feel free to reduce or add as per your liking.
Cook for about 30 -35 minutes until the chutney is thickened. Squeeze
every bit you can from the cloth and discard it. Transfer to sterilized
jars while still hot. Don’t put the lid, until the chutney cools. It
keeps well for 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
