Homemade mango chutney taste very different from store bought ones which has a tendency to be too sweet.
This has sweetness too but is fresh, has acidity and a little kick of chili and spices. Here it is served with fried chicken, salad and warm nan bread, a little sour cream and red onion. You can also use tortillas or flatbread. Another way of using the chutney is to serve it together with cheese and crackers.
