If you love bold, vibrant flavors, this easy mango chutney is a must-make. It’s sweet, tangy, slightly spicy, and incredibly versatile - perfect for pairing with cheese, grilled meats, or sandwiches. Whether you use fresh or frozen mango, this homemade version is quicker, tastier, and more budget-friendly than store-bought.
Heat a large non-stick pot with a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the grated ginger, garlic, and chopped chili. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Stir in the spices and nigella seeds, and cook for another minute.
Add mango, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 45–60 minutes. Stir occasionally.
If mango chunks stay too firm, gently mash them with a spoon or potato masher.
Once thickened to your liking, spoon the hot chutney into sterilized jars.
Notes
Storing: If placed into properly sterilized jars you can store the mango chutney for up to 3 months. If not sterilizing and placing in the fridge you can store it for up to 1-2 weeks.Number of jars - Obviously, the size of jars ranges wildly so I used 4 regular-sized jam jars
