This Mango Chutney recipe is packed with flavor from fresh mangos, onion, bell pepper and spices. Enjoy it with sweet or savory dishes, or with a side of Naan.
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:
- Sauté onion and bell pepper in a stockpot with oil. Add ginger, garlic, and spices.
- Add diced mangoes, sugar, and vinegar.
- Simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- Mash with a potato masher for a smoother consistency (optional).
How to use it:
- Served with Meat dishes (chicken, lamb, pork).
- 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.

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.
4 large mangos will yield between 4-5 cups of fruit. 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!
