A piquant green mango chutney.
Posted on 17 May 2009
As with any trip to Trinidad and Tobago, breakfast means sourcing out the best doubles in Port Of Spain as I usually arrive with a severe craving. I came to learn that the doubles vendors are not only judged on the size, texture and taste of the doubles itself, but what makes a doubles considered the “best” is the chutney and other accompanying hot sauces the vendor provides. Without that “good pepper”, an excellent doubles could easily go unnoticed.
Though I can’t make doubles (only a matter of time before I master that… hold tight) I do love me some mango chutney with my scrambled eggs and as a topping for a juicy t-bone steak! As a matter of fact you can use this spicy sauce as aside for just about everything (as you would normally use hotsauce). Opens up your appetite!
You’ll need…
2 green mangoes peeled. (1 diced and the other grated)
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cilantro chopped (or shandow beni)
1 hot pepper (I used a full habanero with the seeds)
1 lime
In a bowl add the salt, hot pepper and garlic, then crush to a fine paste. For best results you can use a mortar and pestle. I usually slice the garlic and pepper to make this step easier.
Traditionally the mango chutney is usually grated, but I like a bit of texture so I grate one of the mangoes and the other I dice as if I were making a salsa. Makes a great combination. Wash and peel the mangoes and in a plate or bowl, begin to grate. Remember that the mango will have a seed, so you’ll have to work around it.
With care, dice the remaining mango. Do remember the pit or seed so your knife does not bounce off it and cause injury to you.
The final step is the combine everything. Don’t forget to add the juice of the lime (or lemon) and the chopped cilantro. Give it a good mix and check to see if more salt is required. ENJOY!
Be kind and leave me your comments and thoughts below. I’d love to hear from you.

I like the idea of using the mango with two different textures. Love this kind of condiment.

HI Chris,
I love mango, but right know its not mango season in jamaica.
Your mango chutney looks very tempting,i certainly will have to do
this one.
.-= Pauline says:´s last blog ..Can smoke herrings be considered comfort food? =-.
Pauline, thanks for commenting. I can’t wait for the day when I’m back in the Caribbean full time so I can go back to looking forward to seasons defined by what fruit available and not this winter thing.
happy cooking
chris…
Looks very tasty. I assume you store the leftovers in the fridge. How long does it keep?
Yes, Kim. it stores well int he fridge as long as the container is sealed. It would easily last 7-10 days, but you will find that while in the fridge it will loose some of it’s heat.
happy cooking
chris…
Love the pics! Makes it very enticing to try to duplicate. Thanks for the recipes.
I live in Trinidad and will put my signature to this mango chuttney thats just the way it is excellent job simple and to the point
Never had mango chutney. Unknown here in Haiti. You be surprised the quantity of mangoes that root in the trees. I am going to try you recipe. Bravo.
Hi Chris, this mango chutney looks delicious. I know that it will also taste great. Beside doubles it will go well with aloo pies, saheenas,etc. As you said almost anything. Thank you.
You are doing such an excellent job!!! Just keep dooing what you are doing. I am interested in a possibly quick flaky pastry douogh. Can you help. PLEASE!!! Will anxiously await you response.
Just love this, along with everthing else that you do. I do however, have a request. Would you please post a recipe for flaky pastry dough. Would appreciate a whole lot.
I like mango so I am going. To try it tomorrow I know my kids will like it
can you put these recipes in PDF.form it would be nice to print out and follow easily.Enjoy your recipes,making a hit in my home
This sounds so good Chris. I will leave the cilantro out, I don't like the taste and it gives me a bad headache. I hope I can do it justice when I try to make it. Also thanks for posting how to pick egg plants because I did not know. I winged it. Once it came out really well and the next time I don't know if I waited too long
Looks DELICIOUS! Got to try it.

Mango my favourite fruit, I am definately going to try it , the thought of chilli in the mixture is fab.. I will let you know how I got on.
Hi Chris, Thanks for your wonderful site! I look forward to it each week! I am wondering if you could do a video on how to make cassava pone? I tried 3 different recipes last weekend, trying to get the texture right, without success. I used both recipes calling for fresh, grated cassava and cassava flour, but neither came out quite right.
Thanks so much for any pointers you may have! I am obsessed with making a event cassava pone!

Interesting. Indian chatni is made with oil, English chutneys (lIke I make) sweet-sour and matured for 2-3 years and now this, with salt chlli and lime. We have a large mango tree that gives small green fruit and chili plants too. I'm going to make this – thank you.
I have always loved green mango chutney,and I make it much the same as you with small variations here and there. Thanks for all your recipes,being from the Caribbean myself I love the food and wish that I could get all the ingredients where I live. (Miami).
Thank you Chris, I have three green mangoes remaining on my tree when i look at them chutney was on my mind so i am going to make good use of them. tahankkkkk u

Chris my friend…….It is now green mango time here on the East coast of South Africa and we have two HUGE mango trees on our property……..yes,…. they are laden with GREEN MANGOES…Guess what am I going to do the rest of the week….?, definitely not going to watch bikini girls on the beach.
Thanks man, love your recipes, just a pity there are so many of them and I will never be able to get to the last recipe before "THE MAN" comes "KNOCKING" on my front door.
Cheers. Harry.

Hi Chris,
Back home in Guyana I was given Mango Achar, very dark in colour with a smell that is all it's own, beautiful and moorish and hot. I love my food and sauces very very hot. I would love the recipe for the said Mango Achar, Please.
Thanks Dandai.
Hi Chris,
Just discovered your site this weekend.
Can't wait to go shopping for ingredients
Hi Chris,

Oh my God! It looks so much delicious. Will make it straight ahead as mangoes season just starts. I do love curry mango. Will try this recipe as well.
