Sweet And Hot Mango Chutney With Cumin Dusted Pita Wedges Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the mango, raisins, sugar, tamarind paste, and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low, and cook until everything is soft and the flavors have blended, about 30 minutes. Put the chutney into a bowl and allow it to cool before serving.
• Put the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter slowly and make sure it does not sizzle or brown. Increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is covered with foam, stir gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Gently simmer, uncovered, and undisturbed for 45 minutes, until the milk solids in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is transparent. Strain the ghee through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The ghee should be perfectly clear and smell nutty; pour into a glass jar and seal tightly.
• Toast the coriander, cumin, cardamom, peppercorns, fennel, mustard, cloves, and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat just until they smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the curry powder immediately, or store in a sealed jar for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place pita wedges on pan; coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cumin and salt. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Note: Chips can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Cut a 4-inch square of cheesecloth. Place cloves and peppercorns in center, and form a bundle; secure with kitchen twine. Place bundle in a low-sided 6-quart saucepan. Add vinegar, red onion, red-pepper flakes, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in ginger, lime zest and juice, and mangoes. Continue to simmer over medium until mangoes begin to soften and liquid has thickened, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool; refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the first six ingredients with 3 tbsp water. Set over medium heat and simmer 15 minutes or until mango breaks down and mixture thickens. Use a potato masher to mash any large chunks, if desired.
• For the pita wedges: Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut each pita into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet. Lightly coat wedges with cooking spray, sprinkle with cumin and season with salt and pepper. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
