Chutney dates back to 500 BC. Chutneys are endless in variety and ingredients, but they generally consist of fruit, vinegar, and sugar cooked down to a reduction. The word “chutney” is derived from the Sanskrit word caṭnī, meaning to lick. In other words, finger-lickin’ good!

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 tablespoon, calories 24 kcal, Carbohydrate 7 g, Protein 1 g, Fat 1 g, Saturated Fat 1 g, Sodium 8 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 6 g
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil ((neutral tasting))
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (, finely minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (, finely minced)
- 1 red chili (, sliced (optional: remove seeds and membrane for less heat))
- 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 large mangoes ((about 250-300 grams each), peeled and diced)
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1 cup white vinegar
Instruction:
- 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 Instructions (for even longer shelf-life): Pour the hot mixture directly into sterilized jars and process in a water bath for 10 minutes. Let sit undisturbed for 24 hours, then store in a dark, cool place. Will keep for at least a year.This makes roughly 2 1/2 pints of mango chutney.

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 3 tablespoons, calories 114 kcal, Carbohydrate 26 g, Protein 1 g, Fat 1 g, Saturated Fat 0.2 g, Sodium 298 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 24 g, unSaturated Fat 1.2 g
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small shallot, (diced)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 3 mangoes ((peeled and chopped. Frozen works too))
- 1/2 cup brown sugar ((taste and adjust according to the ripeness of mangoes))
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- red chili pepper flakes, (optional)
Instruction:
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot. Add the shallot and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly translucent. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the diced mango, sugar, vinegar, ginger, cumin, and red chili flakes if using.
- Cook and occasionally stir over medium-high heat. The mangos will start to brown in around 15-20 minutes. The liquid ingredients will cook down and create a thick sauce.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and mash by hand or pulse in a food processor or blender. I prefer chutney on the chunkier side, but feel free to make it chunky or smoother.
- Serve warm, room temperature, or cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy on with curry, chicken, fish, burgers, sandwiches, or on naan bread!
