Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangos
- 1 chili
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and dice the ripe mangoes. Set aside. Roughly chop the red chili peppers and garlic cloves. Use gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after handling chili peppers.
- Transfer the mango, chili, garlic, curry powder, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.
- In a saucepan, heat the pureed mango sauce. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir to combine. Add a bit of water if the sauce is too thick. Cook longer if the sauce is too thin.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mango sauce cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean glass jar or airtight container or serve it right away.
Notes
- Blending consistency – The consistency of your sauce depends on personal preference. For a smoother sauce, blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend briefly, leaving small mango pieces for added texture.
- Adjust heat level – Leave the chili out for a milder flavor. If you prefer more heat, experiment with different chili pepper varieties to find your preferred level of spiciness.
- Vinegar options – If you don't have apple cider vinegar, use white or rice vinegar. Each type of vinegar will impart a slightly different flavor.
