Ingredients Needed
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red chili, chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation Steps
Start by combining all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and develop a rich, glossy texture.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool. Transfer the chutney to a clean jar or container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serving Suggestions

Tips for Success
- Use ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the chili according to your spice preference.
- For a smoother chutney, blend the mixture before simmering if desired.
- Experiment with adding other spices like cinnamon or cloves for a unique twist.
