Corom Chatni (Mango Chutney with Hot Chillies) — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.
Yield
12 oz (350 ml)
Ingredients
- 1 firm, almost-ripe mango
- 1 fresh red or green chilli pepper, stemmed, slit lengthwise, seeded and chopped (see note)
- 1 tsp cilantro or mint, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2–3 Tbsp fresh orange juice, or a mixture of orange and lime juice
- Yield:
- 12 oz (350 ml)
Instructions
-
1Place the mango on one side on a work surface and make a slit in the tip across its width with a sharp knife. Then, hold the mango upright on its stem end on the work surface, and carefully slice the flesh, with the skin attached, off one side of the stone, as close to it as possible. Turn it the other way and cut off the flesh from the other side of the stone.
-
2Place each mango half, skin-side down, on the work surface, and cut lines through the flesh down to the skin in a lattice pattern so that you end up with a checker-board pattern with ½-inch squares.
-
3Grasp the mango half with both your hands, skin down and your two thumbs on the flesh and your four fingers of each hand underneath on the skin. Now turn the skin inside out by pushing the skin inwards with your four fingers of each hand while pushing the two sides downward with your two thumbs.
-
4You will now have the inverted skin of the mango with cubes of flesh attached—cut the cubes off with a sharp knife.
-
5Place the mango cubes in a small bowl.
-
6Add the chilli, cilantro, cayenne, orange/lime juice and salt and mix gently with a spoon.
-
7Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before serving.
