Fragrant Mango Chutney Food

APPLE MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat a wide pan on low heat and add chopped Apple, Mango, chillies and ginger to it. Add 4-5 tablespoon of water and cover the pan with lid and let it cook for 8-10 minutes.
• Uncover and add sugar and salt to it and let it cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes until mango pieces are tender and apple pieces are pulpy.
• In another small pan, heat oil and add nigella seeds to it. Once roasted add turmeric powder and sauté for a minute. Now add this tempering to the apple & mango mixture and mix well.
• Now add cinnamon powder, roasted cumin powder and vinegar to it. Mix it well and let it cook for 7-8 minutes until most of the water is evaporated and you get pulpy consistency.
• Add crushed cardamom seeds and mix. Switch off the heat and let it cool completely. Store in an airtight jar.

GREEN MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat oil in saucepan and saute onions for 4 minutes. Add jalapenos and cumin seeds and saute until fragrant. Add the cloves, cinnamon, and coriander. When fragrant, add the mangoes. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook until mangoes are soft. Add the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, minced ginger, and Demerara sugar and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until chutney is thick. Pour into hot and sterilized jars and seal when cold.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, chile peppers and salt. Bring to a boil; boil for 1/2 hour.
• Stir in onions, garlic, golden raisins, raisins and ginger and boil for another 1/2 hour.
• Stir in mangos (and almonds if using), reduce heat to low and simmer for 1/2 hour. Pour mixture into sterilized jars, to 1/2 inch below lid level, and seal.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and chop the flesh into blueberry-sized pieces. Pour the vinegar and sugar into a large pan and simmer gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bubble for 8-10 mins until reduced a little. Meanwhile, toast the cumin, coriander and cardamom in a dry pan until aromatic.
• Tip the spices into a pestle and mortar and gently crush them, leaving the seeds with some texture. Remove the cardamom pods, leaving the seeds in the spice mix, and add to the vinegar mix along with the mangoes, the other ingredients and 2 tsp salt. Bubble over a medium heat for 1 hr 15 mins - 1 hr 35 mins, until thick and syrupy. Leave to sit for 10 mins.
• Transfer the chutney into 2-3 sterilised jars while still hot. Seal the jars and leave to cool, then add labels. Store in a cool place for up to 2 years - the chutney will be best eaten after a few months, when the flavours have melded and mellowed.

SPICY MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Wash and sterilize your jam jars.
• Heat the oil in a large deep pot, add the onion and fry for a few minutes until soft. Stir in the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10min until the onion is golden.
• Add all of the spices, except the turmeric, and fry until toasted.
• Stir in the turmeric and chili, add the lemon and the mango and pour in 500ml water and the vinegar, sugar and salt, then cover and cook for 30min.
• Stir the mix, take off the lid and leave to simmer uncovered for 30min (it may take longer depending on how much moisture was in your mangoes), keep stirring frequently until the chutney is thick and set. Spoon into your jars and enjoy!

MANGO POMEGRANATE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Using the blade of a sharp knife, cut about 1/4 inch deep into the skin of the pomegranate, careful not to cut through the seeds. Cut all the way around the perimeter of the pomegranate.
• Twist the halves of the pomegranate apart. If they don't separate, cut around the perimeter again until they do.
• Hold one half of the pomegranate over your cook pan with the seeds facing down, and firmly tap the back of pomegranate with a meat mallet or something similar. The seeds will start to fall into the pan. Rotate the pomegranate to get as many of the seeds as possible out as you do this.
• Remove the white membrane from inside the pomegranate half to loosen the remaining seeds. Also remove any membrane fragments that fall into the pan. Repeat with the other half of the pomegranate.
• Place all remaining ingredients in the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from sticking.
• Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Peel mangoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small bowl toss mangoes with vinegar, sugar, salt, and raisins.
• Make seasoning paste:
• Cut gingerroot into 4 pieces. For a milder chutney, wearing rubber gloves, remove seeds and veins from Thai chilies or jalapeño. To a food processor with motor running add gingerroot, chilies, and remaining seasoning paste ingredients, 1 at a time through feed tube, and purée to a paste.
• Heat a 4-quart heavy kettle over moderately low heat until hot. Cook seasoning paste, cinnamon stick, and star anise in oil, stirring frequently, 10 minutes, or until very fragrant. Stir in mango mixture and simmer, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mangoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and star anise and cool chutney completely. Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, about 1 month.
