My most recent mango obsession is chutney. My inspired version includes plenty of spice balanced with natural sweetness and acidity, is made in 1 pot with basic ingredients, and pairs perfectly with SO many Indian-inspired dishes! Let me show you how.
What is Chutney?
Chutney is a spicy, flavorful condiment originating in India. It’s known for being full of micronutrients and aiding digestion. It can be made from a variety of fruits and vegetables and has since spread to many countries and taken on different forms (source).
How to Make Mango Chutney
This chutney starts by sautéing onion, serrano pepper, bell pepper, and ginger in a saucepan with simple spices. Then comes the mango, a little mango or orange juice, coconut sugar for natural sweetness, apple cider vinegar for acidity, and sea salt to taste. We also added a little curry powder for more flavor (& because it’s amazing in pretty much everything). You can learn more about the origin of curry powder and find a DIY recipe here. The result is a tender, perfectly cooked mango chutney that’s equal parts sweet, spicy, and sour! Note: There are many ways to make and season mango chutney. You can learn more and find a traditional Bengali-style recipe here. We hope you LOVE this chutney!
