Mango Chutney

Ingredients :

6 medium size green mangoes

6 dried chilies

2.5cm (1 inch) fresh ginger, shredded

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed lightly

1/2 cup vinegar

1 cup sugar

3 tsp salt

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp raisins, soaked in water

Method :

Peel and slice mangoes, discarding stones. Grind or crumble chilies and mix with shredded ginger, chili and peppercorns.

Boil vinegar, sugar and salt, and add chili paste, crushed garlic and water. Cook for 2 minutes, then add sliced mango. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, and add drained raisins. Remove from heat and transfer to a wide-necked jar. Seal tightly.

This chutney can be used immediately, but will develop more flavor after several days. Can be stored for many weeks.

Serves 3-4
