Mango Mint Chutney Recipes

MANGO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• To make the chutney, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in chili flakes, ginger, mango, curry powder, honey, white wine vinegar and water.
• Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half and chutney has thickened, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and mint. Allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a jar and seal it tightly before refrigerating.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Cut the mango flesh away from the pit. The pit is shaped similar to an obelisk, so you'll end up with 2 large pieces and 2 smaller pieces from each mango. Roughly chop the flesh.
• In a saute pan heat the oil and add the chile flakes. Be careful not to burn the chile, just toast to flavor the oil. Add the onions and sweat until soft. Add the ginger and bell pepper and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Finally add the mango and cook for 1 more minute.
• In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, and curry powder. Add this mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer and reduce for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Add the raisins and the nuts and transfer to another container over an ice bath. I used a mild yellow curry powder, but if you want it hotter go for red.

MANGO-TAMARIND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• To make tamarind juice, put the pulp in a bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Stir well and let soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Set a fine-meshed strainer over another bowl, add soaked tamarind and press hard with a wooden spoon to extract the juice. This should yield 1/2 cup tamarind juice. Discard the solids left in the strainer. (If using prepared tamarind juice, skip this step.)
• Add brown sugar and salt and stir to dissolve, then add onion, chile, ginger and diced mango and toss gently to combine. (Chutney may be prepared several hours in advance.) Just before serving, add mint and cilantro, if using.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, chile peppers and salt. Bring to a boil; boil for 1/2 hour.
• Stir in onions, garlic, golden raisins, raisins and ginger and boil for another 1/2 hour.
• Stir in mangos (and almonds if using), reduce heat to low and simmer for 1/2 hour. Pour mixture into sterilized jars, to 1/2 inch below lid level, and seal.

GOAT LUKHMI WITH MANGO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the filling: Add the garlic and ginger to a mortar and pestle and grind until a paste forms. (Make sure your yield is 1 tablespoon when combined.)
• Mix the goat mince with the ginger-garlic paste, cilantro, seekh kebab masala, cayenne, turmeric powder and red onion in a large bowl, then sprinkle with salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Turn the heat under a large Dutch oven to medium and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, add the marinated meat and saute until completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove to a sheet tray. Set aside and allow to come to room temperature before cooling completely in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Add lemon juice just to this mixture just before you start filling.
• For the mango mint chutney: Add the cilantro, mint, mango, ginger, serrano, lime juice, sugar, salt and 1/3 cup water to a blender and puree until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
• For the lukhmi: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or 3 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Place 1 layer of phyllo on a work surface with the shorter side facing you, and brush the left half of the sheet with ghee. Fold the unbrushed side of the phyllo onto the ghee-brushed side and evenly press to seal.
• Place a small amount of filling (about 1/3 cup) at one corner. Press the edges of the lukhmi with your fingers to ensure it is tightly sealed into a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over and up the phyllo until the entire sheet of phyllo has been used and the piece is a tightly-formed triangle. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel while you repeat with the remaining filling and phyllo.
• Slowly drop down the lukhmi, one after the other, into the preheated oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to the prepared wire rack.
• Scatter the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, mint and mango pieces on a serving platter. Top with the lukhmi. Serve hot with the chutney.

CILANTRO-MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, combine the cilantro, mint, mango pulp, lime juice and chiles, and blend at high speed until smooth. Season with salt to taste, then add water as needed, pulsing to combine, to achieve a thick and slightly chunky consistency. Adjust the seasoning with lime juice and salt as needed.
• This chutney will keep refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week. After that, the vivid green color will begin to lose its vibrancy, though the chutney will still taste delicious for a full 2 weeks.
