Ingredients
  

  • 500 g unripe mangoes about 2, peeled and stones removed, diced into 1cm cubes
  • 20 g fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds crushed in a pestle and mortar
  • 1/2 tsp nigella seeds
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 75 g demerara sugar
  • 50 ml white wine vinegar

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl mix the diced mangoes with the grated ginger, seeds, chilli flakes and salt, then leave to rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, then add the mango mixture. Cook for few minutes, then add the sugar and vinegar, mix and cook for 10 minutes on a low heat, stirring occasionally so the mangoes don’t stick to the pan.
  3. After 10 minutes mash the mixture roughly, cover the pan and cook for another 10 minutes on a low heat. Take off the heat.
  4. Pour the hot chutney into the warm, sterilised airtight jar(s). Enjoy with Indian food or simply a slice of toast.
