Indian Touch Mango Dip Food

MANGO CHUTNEY (BEST EVER!)

Steps:

• 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.

MANGO CURRY DIP

Steps:

• Put the softened cream cheese in a wide bowl and add the green onions and curry powder. Mix well. Add more curry if you like, to suit your taste. Form the cheese mixture into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours or over-night.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the cheese ball and place in the middle of a large serving platter. Push down on the ball lightly to flatten the bottom and have it adhere to the plate. Spoon the mango chutney over the top of the cheese ball and sprinkle the slivered almonds over the chutney.
• Arrange the water crackers around the cheese ball. Let set at room temperature for at least one hour before serving.
