Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
  • White vinegar — You can substitute white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if desired.
  • Brown sugar — If you prefer a less sweet chutney, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a smoother chutney, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender before transferring it to jars.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • The chutney tastes even better after a few days as the flavors continue to develop, so consider making it in advance.

Serving advice

Serve the Spicy Mango Chutney as a condiment alongside curries, grilled meats, or cheese platters. It also makes a delicious spread for sandwiches and wraps.

Presentation advice

Transfer the chutney to small glass jars and label them for a charming homemade touch. Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro or a slice of mango for an elegant presentation.
