Mango Chutney


Mango Chutney is a very versatile condiment, typically served as a side dish with many curries. Not forgetting, a great accompaniment for sandwiches, and it’s also a fantastic dip for chips, crisps, and crackers too.

Speaking of crackers, I recently had an opportunity to try out Lesley Stowe’s Raincoast Crisps’ newest creation, the Cinnamon Raisin crackers. Fabulous all natural crackers, handmade with care in small batches. I found this new cracker tasted great and was even better with the mango chutney. So, do try out my mango chutney recipe as your next side dish or snack dip. Enjoy!

  2. I made some mango chutney a while back. It was a bit different than yours and we loved it with chicken. This looks great with those crunchy crackers.

  6. Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back? This would never have happened under the Tories.
