Ingredients
Papaya
- 1 cup Papaya grated, raw
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp Pepper Powder or to taste, white
- 1/2 tsp Peppercorns black
- 1/4 cup Cranberries dried
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the grated raw papaya, turmeric powder, and salt with enough water to cover the papaya. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the papaya is tender. Add a little more water if needed during cooking. This helps ensure even cooking and prevents burning.
- Once the papaya is soft, stir in the sugar and raisins. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat, allowing the mixture to reduce and thicken to about half its original volume. This concentrates the flavors and creates a beautiful, syrupy consistency.
- The papaya will gradually turn a lovely golden color as it cooks, typically within about 10 minutes. At this point, add the lemon juice. The lemon juice brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Continue simmering for another 5 minutes. Stir in the dried cranberries for a pop of color and a touch of tartness.
- Finally, add the black peppercorns and white pepper powder. Adjust the amount of white pepper to your preference. The chutney should have a syrupy consistency. The peppercorns add warmth and complexity.
- Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool completely. Cooling allows the flavors to meld and the chutney to thicken further. Serve and enjoy!
