Mango Chutney - an excellent condiment for curry, pork, turkey

If you’re going to be making curry regularly,  and you really should be….you should also have a quick recipe for homemade mango chutney. Mango chutney, well, kicks your curry up to the next level. The curry is awesome on it’s own, but the chutney just adds one more tangy/sweet element to your dish.  It also goes well with roast pork, turkey or as a condiment on a turkey burger.  You many not want to be making this every time you make curry – I’m more than happy to use mango chutney from a jar, but if you’re making dinner for company, it’ll be one more thing for them to ‘ooooh’ over. This recipe is easy and quick.
