No Stranger to Mango
As noted previously, I keep trying to make Indian style dishes, despite it never really “clicking” with my taste preferences. I ran across this recipe online and it looked and sounded so great that I knew I needed to try it out.
Curry has never been a mainstay in my household. Not growing up. Not as an adult. I’ll go to it one to two times a year, but it never has become that go-to flavor. Mango had never really been part of my diet until about five years ago. Sure, an occasional slice would make it to my plate, but I never really purchased or cooked with it. Part of that was general availability of the fruit was much more limited than today. Finally I had a recipe for Mango salsa and I have not turned back. While not a major player still in my diet, it is certainly no stranger.
Recent I made Curried Mango Chicken, and while pretty good, still hasn’t made me a convert. However I recognize that billions of others love it, so this is for them!
A decent looking dish.
The mango chutney was found in the “ethnic foods” aisle in my local grocery store.
You can’t go wrong when a recipe has you sautéing onions.
Onions, tomatoes and chicken are so versatile.
The sweet/spicy combo works.
