Make mango chutney yourself: basic recipe
For the mango chutney from India, you need the following ingredients: 2 ripe mangoes, 2 onions, some ginger (approx. 5cm piece), a quarter of chili, 3 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 lime (the juice of it), 2 tbsp sugar, curry spice, turmeric spice, salt, and pepper. You will also need the following kitchen utensils: potato peeler, cutting board, knife, and saucepan.

- Pour the mango chutney into a suitable container. If you want to preserve the chutney, fill the still-hot mixture into sterilized preserving jars. Turn the jar upside down and let it cool completely.
