Boiled mango chutney is a popular sweet and spicy condiment in Trinidad. It’s one of the main condiments enjoyed in doubles, aloo pies or drizzled on fluffy balls of pholourie.
In my recipe, green mango is cut into 1 inch pieces and boiled with spices such as turmeric, anchar massala and geera and flavored with garlic, hot pepper and bandhania(culantro).
It’s a delightful accompaniment to just about any dish. Today I poured some on my chicken pelau! I love the combination of sweet, sour and spicy!
Boiled mango chutney will stay up to two weeks in a tightly sealed container, i,e. if you don’t eat it all out in a couple of days.
Hope you enjoy my delicious version!
