Indian Homemade Mango Chutney Recipe

This simple mango chutney recipe is deliciously sweet and provides a great balance to rich, spicy foods like curry and samosa.

It comes together easily with just a few ingredients and it sure tastes better than the store-bought condiment.

They say you have to try new food three times before your tastebuds can decide whether they really like the food or not. I think some foods take longer unless you give up trying too soon.

I usually don't give up easily (except with liver, gag) so it took numerous tries before I acquired the taste for Indian food. Now I put their spices on almost everything, ha!

However, it took only one try to fall in love with this chutney. It was a perfect condiment for the spicy samosa pie I served to my guests once. I love making my company my taste testers and I was confident this pie from Foodess would turn out great.

I adopted her chutney recipe to go with my fillo samosa firecrackers.

What Goes With Mango Chutney?

The hardest thing about making this Indian mango chutney is the wait. Even cutting mangoes is easy. And if you don't like Indian or spicy food and think you won't need mango chutney, think again. Try this:

• Spread mango chutney on a sandwich with leftover turkey or chicken.
• Add it to your grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
• Top crackers with mango chutney and your choice of mild cheese.
• Put a dollop on pork chops.
• Mango chutney with a touch of curry and mayo makes a great potato or chicken salad dressing.
• It brings out the best in vanilla ice cream.

How to Cut Mangos:

1. Stand the mango on your cutting board stem end down and hold. Place your knife about ¼" from the widest center line and cut down through the mango. Flip the mango around and repeat this cut on the other side. What's left is the seed.
2. Cut parallel slices into the mango flesh, being careful not to cut through the skin. Turn the mango and cut another set of parallel slices to make a checkerboard pattern.
3. Scoop the mango slices out of the mango skin using a large spoon or turn the scored mango "cheek" inside out by pushing the skin up from underneath, and scrape the mango chunks off of the skin with a knife or spoon.

How to Make Indian Homemade Mango Chutney Recipe:

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat as the mixture softens and begins to bubble. Stir often, breaking up the mango chunks with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick, leaving just a few intact mango chunks, about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of mango chunks.
2. Store in a sealed container and either refrigerate for use within 2 weeks, freeze or ladle into jars and process in a boiling water bath and store for up to six months.
