This simple recipe for fresh mango chutney calls for lots of ripe mangoes, onion, garlic, and ginger root. Make a large batch and freeze the leftovers!
Mangoes are my very favorite fruit, so it’s easy to see why Mango Chutney is one of my very favorite condiments. I’m just sure that you want to know how to make mango chutney. I like to make mine spiked with onion, garlic, and LOTS of fresh ginger root.
I made this batch to go with a big pan of one of my favorite Indian dishes, Chicken Biryani.
Make sure you plan ahead and allow some time to buy some mangoes and let them get really ripe before making this recipe.
I prefer to use Champagne (aka Ataulfo) mangoes for this recipe (and I just prefer them in general), but you can use whichever kind you can find at your local grocery store.

This Mango Chutney recipe is a great condiment to many Indian recipes, it also works well with this Baked Beef Samosa recipe.

I love mango chutney and Ataulfo mangos. This was a perfect recipe for me. Easy to make and fantastic to accompany
the curries I love to eat along with chutney. Thanks for this one.
Hi Victor, thanks for sharing your 5 star review and your lovely comments! – Linda
Love all things mango! Unfortunately some family members cannot eat garlic or peppers so an worried there won’t be enough zip to the salsa. Any idea how to remedy this? I’d love to make some for family that is intolerant, was thinking of adding extra ginger. For me spicy is good so love this recipe.
Hi Heather, I would make two versions. You could make the same recipe size for each or do half the recipe size for each. Make one regular and one without the garlic and red pepper flakes. – Linda
Just harvested my last mangoes and making this years batch. My neighbour said last year’s batch was the best chutney they have ever had. Thanks for the recipe.

Best mango chutney ever
Ack! It’s simmering now. I’m so nervous about all the garlic!
Jenn,
All that garlic makes it so good! You will and the chutney will be just fine.

Making this to put into South African Bobotie and the house smells so good just from the chutney!! I’m using frozen mango because that’s what I had on hand – also, didn’t have red onions so substituted shallots. Thanks for this as it’s so hard to find Mrs. Ball’s chutney in the US!!
Can I use white suga thank you
Hi Ann,
If you don’t have brown sugar, yes, you can use white sugar.

To tell the truth, it never occurred to me that I could make my own chutney but a recipe called for mango chutney but gave no recipe for it so I found yours.It’s amazing and I hope to have some in my fridge at all times. I used semi-dried mango and mango sauce, both from Trader Joe’s and mixed those with all the other ingredients and found people ate it as a side dish not just a a condiment. It really is outstanding. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Fredda,
So glad you loved it. Thanks for sharing your adaptation.

This was fantastic. I’m going to learn to can and make a lot with the next mango harvest. People are asking me for more, they end up eating it up before using in their dish. I have frozen small portions of this without any problems.
Im curious about shelf life. I suppose it can be canned in a water bath and kept in cool storage like jam or other canned chutneys? How long would this recipe keep in the fridge without canning/preservation?
I don’t have canning expertise so I couldn’t tell you about water bath preserving. I’ve kept my chutney in the fridge for up to a week with no problems, but use your best judgement!
I’ve never made mango chutney before, I’ve only ever bought it. But this looks good and simple so I’m going to try making it. It looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, this is so delicious! I just made this and “WOW” I can’t until tomorrow to eat it with my tandoori chicken!!
