Mango chutney is a traditional sauce or condiment from Indian cuisine that has become popular in many parts of the world as an ideal accompaniment for various dishes. It is made primarily with mango, sugar, vinegar, and a combination of spices such as ginger, chili, cilantro, among others, which gives it a flavor that is simultaneously sweet, sour, and slightly spicy.
This chutney has its origin in India, where the mango is a highly prized fruit used in numerous culinary preparations. Through colonization and cultural exchange, mango chutney spread to other regions, becoming very popular in Caribbean and British cuisines.
Regarding its properties, mango chutney is low in fat and provides a good amount of vitamins, such as vitamin C, and antioxidants present in the mango. Additionally, the added spices can aid digestion and offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
In the context of cooking recipes, mango chutney is commonly used as a complement for meats, fish, cheeses, and even in sandwiches or as a dip for appetizers (finger foods). Its balanced flavor enhances both cold and hot dishes.
In different Latin American countries, mango chutney may be known simply as "mango chutney", but it can also be referred to as "sweet and sour mango sauce" or even "spiced mango jam", although these terms are not as common and may vary by region.
