Unlike the more usual fresh chutneys of India, this is a sweet cooked chutney that much more resembles European-stlye chutneys.

Ingredients:

900g jaggery (or palm sugar)
1.2l water
1kg green mangoes, grated
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp hot chilli powder
15g Nigella seeds
7.5g fenugreek seeds, dry-roasted and ground
30g coriander seeds, dry-roasted and ground

Method:

Combine the sugar and water in a deep pan then bring to a boil. Add the mango, reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.

Stir in the salt and spices until well blended then take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool. Pour the chutney into a cleaned and sterilized jar, secure a lid and store in the refrigerator until needed.
