Although many Indian classics have been carefully standardized, it’s possible to improvise a sweet-and-sour chutney by adjusting some of the standard ingredients to taste and by using virtually any underripe fruit.

Ingredients

sugar 2 tbsp

Method

  1. Combine the sugar and vinegar in a stainless-steel saucepan large enough to hold the fruit and simmer gently to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Stir the fruit into the sugar-vinegar mixture and simmer gently until the cubes soften but retain some texture, 5 to 15 minutes. Drain the fruit in a strainer set over another saucepan. Combine the chiles, ginger, and spice mixture
