Tips:

Choose ripe, high-quality mangoes: Firm but ripe mangoes are ideal for making chutney because they offer a balance of sweetness and tanginess. Look for mangoes that have a yellow or orange-yellow color, and avoid those that are green or have blemishes.
Use a variety of spices: Spices like ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and mustard seeds add depth and complexity to the chutney. Experiment with different combinations to find a flavor profile that you enjoy.
Adjust the sweetness and heat: The amount of sugar and chili peppers you add will determine the sweetness and heat level of the chutney. Taste the chutney as you cook it and adjust the ingredients accordingly.
Cook the chutney until it reaches the desired consistency: Depending on your preference, you can cook the chutney until it is thick and jam-like or until it retains a slightly chunky texture. Keep in mind that the chutney will thicken as it cools.
Store the chutney properly: Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can also process the chutney in a water bath canner to extend its shelf life.
