I beg to differ.
Should you have mango chutneys with a chicken curry?
Yes, mango chutney pairs excellently with chicken curry. Here's why:
## Flavor Complementarity
Mango chutney provides a perfect balance to chicken curry dishes:
- The sweetness of the mango complements the savory and spicy flavors of the curry[1][5].
- The tanginess in the chutney cuts through the richness of cream-based curries[6].
- The fruity notes add depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile[2].
## Culinary Tradition
Using mango chutney with curry has roots in Indian cuisine:
- It's a common accompaniment to curry dishes in many Indian households[1].
- Some recipes incorporate mango chutney directly into the curry sauce for added flavor[3][4].
## Versatility
Mango chutney can be used in various ways with chicken curry:
- As a condiment served on the side[1].
- Mixed into the curry sauce during cooking[2][3].
- Used as a glaze for the chicken before adding it to the curry[4].
## Texture Contrast
The chunky texture of mango chutney provides a nice contrast to the smooth curry sauce[6].
While personal preferences may vary, the combination of mango chutney and chicken curry is widely enjoyed and can elevate the dish by adding a delightful sweet and tangy element. If you find it too sweet, you can always adjust the amount used or balance it with additional spices or acidity in your curry recipe[5].
