Ingredients
The basic ingredients that you need to make Indian mango chutney are very easily available. They are mango, sugar, white vinegar, oil, and spices. Mango used for chutney is preferably firm and under-ripened with yellow flesh. Spices: You add a number of Indian whole or ground spices like black seeds, fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, black pepper, ginger, and garlic. While these spices greatly add to the flavor. They are not essential. So if you do not have one or two spices like fennel or cardamom. You can skip it. Substitute whole spices to ground spices: While all chutney spices are easily available in an Indian pantry or Indian store, I understand, that they are not common in every pantry. So I’m sharing measures for both ground and whole spices in the recipe card. My mother-in-law would make simple chutney with just cumin and red chili as only spices and it still tastes great if you do not have all those spices. Stick to cumin and red peppers and it’ll still taste yummy. Find more about Indian Spices and their use here. We also make mango delight, mango ice cream, mango jam, and mango kulfi in summer.
