Mango Ginger Chutney Recipe to Spice Up Your Meals

A Mango Ginger Chutney is one of the food preserves you would love to have in your pantry at all times. You can go after canning several small containers with a delicious chutney recipe to extend the preservation time. But you also can opt for a recipe that you can store in the refrigerator. Making small batches allows you to experiment with the taste, spices and improve your skill at making the top chutney flavors ever.

Chutney is a great way to flavor up your main dishes like fish and meat and even desserts. It takes 2-3 spoonfuls of chutney to truly celebrate and emphasize the flavors of your food. Coming to us from the versatile cuisine of East India, a nice chutney combines sour and sweet tastes and has a special “zang” from chilis sometimes. But do not be afraid that chutneys are hot. They have a pleasant taste and go nicely as a side dish for your main course of food and drink.

What Is Chutney?

Chutneys are made with many fruit, but my favorite has been mango. I remember buying my first ever mango chutney at the fund raiser many years ago. Since then, I fell in love with the a slight hint of spiciness that comes from ginger and chili peppers and sweetened with the natural sugars of mangoes and golden raisins.

Chutneys originated in India around 500 BC. Later, the Romans adopted the chutney cooking principles for the food preservation (think canning!) In early 1600s, England and France imported the concept of chutneys into their cuisines.

Mangoes are rich in fiber which is one of the key components for our personal health. Fiber helps us to maintain a healthy weight, avoid constipation and contribute to the digestive power of our gut. It is a huge positive factor in our daily diet working to reduce internal inflammation.
