Mango Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

The side that runs the show — mango chutney turns plain rice or hot idli into a full meal. About 15 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 10 min Cook 5 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1 inch
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Dried Red Chilies3
  • Neutral Oil1 tsp
  • Green Mango2
  • Jaggery3 tbsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the main — roast, fry or grate as the tradition asks; colour is flavour here.

  2. 2

    Grind everything to the texture you like: silky for the table, rustic for the banana-leaf plate.

  3. 3

    Taste and balance salt, sour and heat — a chutney should wake the meal, not fight it.

  4. 4

    Temper the mustard seeds and curry leaves in hot oil and pour over the top.

  5. 5

    Serve fresh; it keeps two days refrigerated if it lasts that long.

Chef's tip

A spoon of cold water while grinding keeps the blade from heating the oils.
