Hi there, this my first recipe I'm posting here and it's kind of a work in progress so if you have any ideas on how to improve it then I would really appreciate it.

I figure that Indian restaurants must make their own and I doubt they import the mangos so there is a good chance they use mango pulp which is becoming readily available in supermarkets (it's only ?1 in tesco ATM).

My recipe is a really tasty chutney but not quite there yet


Yield - 2 standard sharwood mango chutney sized bottles

4 tbsp veg oil
1 tin of mango pulp (30oz tins)
1 cup vinegar (I've been using red wine vinegar)
1 tsp salt
2 lemons juiced along with 1/2 of a lemons rind
1/2 cup sugar

Spices
1 1/4 tsp kolonji seeds
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp onion salt
1 tsp ginger powder

1) heat oil on a medium heat and then add the spices.
2) simmer them for around 3 minutes
3) add the rest of the ingredients and boil on a medium heat for 10 minutes to reduce the liquid.
4) it should now look like mango chutney and can be dispensed into 2 sterilized bottles to be stored.
5) eat and enjoy


I figure that between the salt/turmeric/vinegar the chutney should have a fairly healthy shelf life although I would love to know how long.  It means you can make 2 jars of yummy chutney for around 1/4 of the price in the shops

Enjoy!

Thanks buddy! I will certainly check them out

I love this idea and with respect to people not reading the instructions, theres no reason the base sauce couldn't come with packs of spices or even better a recipe book?

I would agree that as soon as something like this goes national its going to be packed full of crap and lose its identity.

On a small scale however, it could easily be sold at a town market or somewhere where you can interact with customers and explain its purpose.

As a teacher I'm eager to run something like this to engage children who struggle with mathematics and have really contemplated running a market stall for curries.  I do feel though that its only going to make ?100+ not ?100,000,000+ unfortunately Mrs Patak got in there first =(

Hi Z.

I didnt follow a korma recipe, just threw about 2tbs ground almond, 3tbs sugar, 35g creamed coconut block and a good slug of single cream into the wok along with around 350ml base.

That reads like a BIR/TA Korma recipe to me    Try an old school version, swop the cream for Carnation Milk   
cheers Chewy

That is such an amazing idea! Do you use sweetened or just regular?

Hi,

I know there is already a request for sweet mango chutney (like the pataks one) but having finally finished the 3kg of the stuff my gf and I bought a few months ago, we've decided we prefer the sharwoods style mango chutney.

Anyone got a recipe similar to this we could try?

We appear to get through mango chutney at an astonishing rate!

please help
