What to eat with Indian mango chutney? ›

Mango chutney is indeed extremely versatile and pairs beautifully with various ingredients, adding this little extra something that brings a dish to the next level.

The most common method is to simply cook it for longer, until the excess water evaporates and the chutney thickens naturally. This can take a while, so be patient and stir the chutney frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Check That The Chutney Is Ready For Potting

Savory Mango Combinations

Ham, chicken, and seafood all make perfect partners with mango, balancing flavors of sweet and salty. The differing characteristics keep our senses guessing as we absorb contrasting flavors, aromas, and textures. For a simple dinner idea using mango, try out a vegetable mango beef stir fry.
