FAQs
Is mango chutney the same as mango jam?
While both mango chutney and mango jam share the starring role of the delightful mango, they are indeed different culinary creations. Mango jam predominantly features the sweetness of ripe mangoes, sugar, and perhaps a dash of lemon juice. It's simple and focuses on the fruit's unadulterated essence. Conversely, mango chutney is a more complex affair, an exotic medley of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavours. It incorporates vinegar, sugar, and a symphony of spices, offering a more layered and robust taste experience.
