Whenever we venture out for Indian food (which happens as often as possible!) I always order Mango Chutney to go with our meal. The last time we ate out, I knew I wanted to recreate some for you all, because it’s one of my favorite condiments! We enjoy it most served on grilled pork tenderloin or chicken, a scoop added to chicken salad, or with tikka masala and naan. It’s so easy to make and versatile and the homemade version can’t be beat!

What is a Chutney?

A chutney is a delicious spicy condiment that originated in India. It is made with vinegar, sugar, spices, and fruits or vegetables. This mango chutney is used for both sweet and savory dishes.

I try to find champagne mangos for chutney, because of their extra smooth velvety texture, but you can really use any type of mango!

How to make Mango Chutney:

Chopped mangos in a bowl.
  • Sauté onion and bell pepper in a stockpot with oil. Add ginger, garlic, and spices.
Diced bell pepper and onion in a skillet, sautéing.
  • Add diced mangoes, sugar, and vinegar.
Sugar, vinegar, mangos added to a pot with onion and diced peppers to make mango chutney.
  • Simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour.

  • Thin it to glaze chicken or as a marinade.
  • Over Brie or cream cheese, with crackers just like we do with our Jalapeño pepper jelly.
  • Add a scoop to chicken salad for sandwiches.
  • Dipping sauce.
  • Spread in sandwiches.
  • On homemade bread or naan.

  1. I’ve never really had mangos much but some were gifted to me. I made the mango chutney. It smells wonderful and looks so pretty in jars.I had Japanese curry paste instead of powder. The chutney makes me want to cook a pork roast! lol

    I had bought some pre-cut and sliced mango from a store that was super hard. So I looked up what to do with it and came across a chutney suggestion. So I tried this recipe and it was fab! I didn’t have the bell peppers, used chili crisp in place of red pepper flakes, and substituted a curry seasoning blend for the curry. So much better than I expected and smelled so good while cooking!

    I can’t wait to make this mango chutney, however there are several different kinds of mangos so your recipe would be much more helpful with a given amount in cups rather than just a generic 4 mangos. Thank you.

    Delicious! We had some leftover mangos we needed to use so I decided to try this recipe as a marinade for BBQ chicken. The flavor was so good and the chicken was so moist. We even had enough to serve with crackers. Everyone loved it!
