Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
• White vinegar — You can substitute white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if desired.
• Brown sugar — If you prefer a less sweet chutney, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smoother chutney, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender before transferring it to jars.
• Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
• The chutney tastes even better after a few days as the flavors continue to develop, so consider making it in advance.
