ginger

🥗Healthier: fresh ginger

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

green chilies

🥗Healthier: jalapeños

💰Cheaper: red bell pepper

Red bell pepper provides sweetness without heat.

Peel the green mangoes.

Shred the mangoes or slice them and use an electric shredder.

Heat oil in a pan on medium heat.

Add kalonji and red chillies to the oil and stir for a few seconds.

Add the raisins and stir until they start to plump up.

Add the shredded mangoes, ginger, red pepper, salt, and sugar to the pan.

Mix everything well.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low medium.

Let it cook for about 10 minutes, checking in between.

After 10 minutes, check if the chutney is ready; it may take longer if the mango is very hard.

Turn off the heat and let the chutney cool before serving.
