- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 3 tsp Oil vegetable or coconut oil

Instructions
Prepare the Mangoes
- Peel and roughly chop 3 ripe mangoes.
Simmer Mangoes with Spices
- Heat 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Add the chopped mangoes and bring to a boil.
- Create a spice sachet: In a small piece of muslin cloth or cheesecloth, tie together 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1-inch cinnamon stick, 2 cloves, and 1 small piece of tamarind (about grape-sized).
- Gently add the spice sachet to the simmering mangoes. Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes.
- Remove the lid, take out the spice sachet, and mash the mangoes with a spoon until slightly chunky.
- Stir in 4 teaspoons of sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of salt (or to taste).
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency.
Tempering for Flavor
- Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/4 gram of split black gram (urad dal). Cook until the seeds begin to pop and the lentils lightly brown.
- Add 1 sprig of curry leaves and 1/4 teaspoon of asafoetida (hing). Stir for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Pour the tempering into the mango chutney and stir well to combine.
Serve
- Serve the mango chutney warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Mango Chutney
- For a sweeter chutney, increase the sugar to 5-6 teaspoons.
- Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
- If you don't have a muslin cloth, you can wrap the spices in a small piece of foil, securing it tightly. Just be sure to remove it carefully.
- Store leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will deepen over time.
