Method

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the onion and cook over a medium low heat for 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 mins more. Stir through the cumin, chilli (if using) and cloves and cook for a minute.
  2. Add the mango, vinegar and sugar. Cook until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 45 mins to 1 hr, stirring often towards the end of the cooking time until the chutney has reduced down to a jammy consistency. Season with a little salt, if you like.
