• 2 cups (peeled, deseeded, and diced) Ripe papaya
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups White vinegar
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and dice it into small cubes measuring about ½-inch each.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them sizzle until they start to pop, about 30 seconds.

3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Add the diced papaya to the pan and stir well to combine with the aromatics.

5. Add the brown sugar, white vinegar, and water to the pan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

6. Sprinkle in the red chili powder, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir to evenly coat the papaya.

7. Add the raisins and mix well.

8. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Let the mixture cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the papaya becomes soft and the chutney thickens.

9. Once done, remove the chutney from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

10. Transfer the chutney into a sterilized jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

11. Serve as a condiment with your favorite dishes or enjoy as a spread.
