MANGO CHUTNEY

First time I've tasted this sauce is when I bought a wrap sandwich from a gasoline station. It was the most satisfying wrap I've ever tasted. So guess what I did? I saved the sandwich wrapper where the list of ingredients was listed. And one of its ingredients is mango chutney. I said to my self OMG what is this? and where should I get it? I was dying to reinvent the wrap sandwich that I have tasted, but how can I do it since I got no mango chutney. I done a research on the internet and actually it was very simple to do. So I made an effort to buy the ingredients and cook it.

According to Wikipedia, the term chutney refers to a number of sauces (or the dry base for such sauces) native to the Indian subcontinent, for an integral part of the cuisines of the Indian subcontinent.[15]

This mango chutney is sweet spicy tangy flavored sauce. Sweet because of mangoes, raisins and sugars. The spiciness from the ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. And tangy-ness from the acidity of mangoes and added vinegar.  It is best serve with meats like chicken, lamb or pork. Also you can use it with cheese like brie or cream cheese. And of course sandwiches and wraps. Actually that is how I discovered this sweet tangy sauce...from the wrap...

The truth is, it is very easy to make this mango chutney...the only challenging ingredients I encountered are the crystallized ginger ( I have to go to the health store to buy this) and the mustard seeds ( I haven't included it in this recipe because I can't find any source, but if you like to add it in your chutney, it is okay and it could add to the chilliness of your sauce).
