🧑‍đŸŗ Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Mangoes

  2. Add chili powder, roasted cumin powder, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom.

  3. Stir and cook on low-medium heat until it thickens slightly (about 10–15 minutes). Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

Step 4: Add Dry Fruits

  • Add chopped raisins, dates, cashews, almonds, and any other nuts you're using.

  • Cook for another 5–7 minutes until the chutney becomes glossy and thick.

Step 5: Cool and Store
