Mango Chutney (Sugar Mangoes) is a composition of ripe mangoes, sugar, spices and vinegar cooked on low heat to form a thick sauce like texture-perfect  for sandwiches or a condiment for meat samoosa’s or hot curry-but especially suited as an accompaniment to chicken dishes like Mango Chicken Curry. Amma never made Mango Chutney-this is one of my favourite relishes.

Mango Chutney is best made with ripe mangoes which result in a more orange colored Mango Chutney. I have added extra green chillies which accounts for the yellow color.



Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 whole onion
• 1 teaspoon ginger and garlic
• 2 chopped green chillies
• 1 teaspoon crushed dried chillies
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• salt
• 1 cup sugar
• Half cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water

1. Sauté the onions in the oil. Add chopped green chillies and crushed red chillies. Cook until the onions are soft.

2. Add the mustard seeds and cumin. Add ginger and garlic.

3. Add the chopped mangoes. If you prefer the Mango Chutney to have visible pieces of mango then chop into larger pieces. I prefer a thick paste like texture so have chopped the mango into small pieces so that they could cook softer.

4. Add salt then one cup of water. Allow to cook for 15-20 minutes.
5. In a separate pot combine the vinegar and sugar on low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Pour the vinegar/sugar mixture into the semi cooked mangoes. Allow to cook until the water evaporates.
6. Allow to cool then place into a sterilized jar.
7. You can store this Mango Chutney  for a month in the fridge.
