We searched for an authentic mango chutney that passed muster and couldn’t find one, so we decided to make our own. Delicious as a condiment or a marinade, our Organic Mango Raisin Chutney is bursting with tang and sweetness, despite having no added sugar, and is mildly spicy. This organic mango chutney starts with a burst of tang from hunza raisins and organic vinegar; balanced by a generous sweetness from pineapple juice paired with our prized Alphonso Mango Purée; finished with a not-too-spicy lingering warmth from a variety of handpicked traditional and exotic Indian spices. It's delicious as a condiment but just as lovely as a marinade. Refrigerate After Opening. Chutney is nothing short of brilliant – The right chutney can bring a meal or a snack together to the point of bliss! No wonder it’s a mainstay of Indian cuisine and has a prominent place in Ayurveda. What is Chutney? Chutney originated in India around 500 BC. It’s a complex relish, a pickle-like side dish, an appetite stimulant, a nutritious digestive aid, and an integral part of India’s rich culinary history. Chutney enhances everything from salads to soups to mains to sides and desserts. It’s even beloved at breakfast! This is because it serves a very special purpose. It brings balance to the meal. For example, spicy chutneys greatly enhance mild dishes while sweet chutneys mellow and balance spicy dishes. This is the beauty of Indian cuisine – it’s a delightful blend of some or all of the six tastes as described by Ayurveda, including sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent – all incorporated in various amounts into dishes that enhance and support health, digestion and metabolism through the correct use of spices, ghee, oils, herbs and chutneys. About Mango Chutney Mango chutney is one of the most famous and popular chutneys of all. The ingredients usually include mangoes, vinegar or lime juice, sugar and spices. Sometimes raisins are added. Since the 19th century mango chutney has come to be most associated with a (likely fictitious) colonial British officer named Major Grey who, legend has it, lived in British-India where he created his very own mango chutney to accompany his beloved assortment of curries. However, there’s no evidence he actually existed and no one has a copyright on his name, so virtually anyone can make mango chutney and call it Major Grey’s Mango Chutney. Organic, No Sugar Added Mango Chutney Made With Love Here at Pure Indian Foods, we wanted something unique. We wanted to create a special kind of mango chutney - something wonderful and paleo-friendly, specifically made with NO added sugar. It had to be naturally sweetened and perfectly balanced with just the right blend of spices and seasonings. So, we decided to combine our Alphonso mango puree with organic pineapple juice and our luscious, organic golden Hunza raisins. Alphonso mangoes are famous for their superior, concentrated taste and quality, and Hunza raisins would add that sweet-tart, healthy touch we wanted. Organic pineapple juice would provide natural sweetness and delicious tropical flavor. Then we pulled it all together with just the right balance of seasonings and spices to create a paleo-friendly, delicately sweetened pineapple-mango chutney that we think you’ll love.
