HOW TO MAKE MANGO CHILI CHUTNEY:
- Roast Spices! In a small pan, roast the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and cumin seeds until fragrant. Crush them in a mortar and pestle until they become a fine powder.
- Make Sugar-Vinegar Syrup! In a large saucepan, add the vinegar and sugar and let the sugar dissolve on medium heat. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add Mangoes! Mix in the mangoes, fennel-cumin-coriander powder, and the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Don’t overcook the mangoes, the chutney should be syrupy, but the mangoes should still be firm.
