Mango Chutney
I think a lot of Americans don't know what to make of chutney, a staple of Indian food. Is it a jam? Is it a side dish? Is it dessert? Yes. All of the above. And a digestive, too.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated {ginger}
2 sticks cinnamon
4 whole cloves
2 teaspoons {chili powder} (without salt)
2 peeled, pitted mangos, chopped
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated {ginger}
2 sticks cinnamon
4 whole cloves
2 teaspoons {chili powder} (without salt)
2 peeled, pitted mangos, chopped
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
Directions
Heat the oil in a saucepan, and add garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about a minute, and then add cinnamon sticks, cloves, chili powder, mango, vinegar and sugar. Stir.
Bring to a boil, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finished product should be lumpy, with a syrupy consistency (which you can test on the back of a spoon). Remove cloves and cinnamon before serving.
