Mango chutney is a sweet and sour sauce used in Indian cuisine. This condiment is made with pieces of fresh mango, slowly cooked with spices, vinegar, and sugar to create a unique blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
Mango chutney is often served as an accompaniment to Indian dishes such as tandoori chicken or samoussas.

How to use mango chutney?
Mango chutney is delicious as a spread on toast for appetizers. With foie gras on toast, it’s really delicious. I also make canapés with gingerbread cake with a small spoonful of chutney and a piece of fromage frais on top.
Mango chutney and foie gras go incredibly well together. For Christmas dinner, you can serve it in a verrine with foie gras, or in small canapés with sliced Camembert cheese or marinated shrimps. With a little imagination, you can create a variety of appetizers.
Mango chutney can also be used to glaze roast duck or turkey. Blend the chutney so that it can be brushed over the turkey like honey.
