Sweet Mango Chilli Sauce
Sweet Mango Chilli Sauce is a fuss-free 10 min lip-smacking and tongue-tickling recipe that goes well with chips, starters, as a spread on bread and rolls or simply as a dressing.
It's the season of Mangoes and though here we get mangoes all year round, the one's which we get this time of the year are the best. They are sweet and juicy. Yes, the local shops have nice and juicy. I need not go for the Indian Variety and wait for a year.
This time I was so happy to find the sweetest and the juiciest mango from a local grocery store. I do not need any excuse to eat mango and I do not need to make any recipe for it either. But still, I love to explore food and thought of making this lip-smacking Sweet Mango Chilli Sauce.

A little about Mangoes
Mango is rich in Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They have been associated with many health benefits, including improved immunity, digestion, good for the heart, eye, skin and keeps your hair healthy. Mangoes are tropical stone fruits, plump and oval. They only grow in warmer climates and are native to India and Southeast Asia.

The Challenge
This month I am participating in Recipe Swap Challenge a group by Jolly Makkar who blogs at Homemade Recipes. She paired me against Swaty Malik who blogs at Food-Trails. You will find a wonderful collection of vegetarian recipes on Swaty's blog.
I think our taste buds do match. It was really difficult to shortlist one recipe from her blog. I had shortlisted her Mango Chilli Sauce the moment I saw it. Still, I was searching for a few more and I got confused between this, Garlic and Spring onion noodles and her Paneer Ki kheer. But since it is the season of mangoes I decided to make this yummy Sweet Mango Chilli Sauce
Sweet Mango Chilli sauce
I followed her recipe to the core and did no changes to it. I ran out of chilli flakes and so what I did was powdered some Indian Dry red chillies. It really added a kick to my sauce. This Sweet Mango Chilli Sauce got me and my hubby hooked. I enjoyed it on some crisp, as a spread on my paratha's and my hubby is enjoying it as chutney/sauce to the main meal.
This Sweet Mango Chilli sauce is a fuss-free 10 min recipe and goes well with chips, crisps, bread's or as a dressing to your salads. It has the sweetness from the mangoes and the kick from the chillies, garlic and ginger. Truly a lip-smacking sauce.

The mango sauce looks utterly delicious! I can imagine the riot of flavours it would be. Love the gorgeous golden yellow colour of it too. 🙂
Thank You
Looks delicious!!! Do you know how long it will stay in the fridge?
It did stay a good 6 + months for me. Thank You
Can I use frozen mango ??
It should work, just defrost before using. But then the shelf life would be less, and you would need to consume asap, as you have already frozen and defrosted once.
@Sally, I used frozen mango and it was perfect
That's cool, thank you letting me know.
Thanks you so much Renu for trying out the recipe and for the lovely words. the sauce looks so inviting, love the color of it.. It is such a delicious sauce that even my family is also ooked onto this sauce with our paranthas and everyday meal. Glad you and your hubby too liked this!! Also, I too agree our taste do match, as I see it in lot of your recipes!!
Thank You

Sweet mango and chilli sauce looks delectable.Lovely colour.
This sweet mango chilli sauce looks just too tempting. Love the colour and also how versatile the sauce is. I would love to use it for my sandwiches, enjoy it with khakhras too.
Thank You
The mango chilli sauce looks so yummy. It can go well with parathas also. I was just wondering if we need to add water as the pulp is quite liquidy after blending.
No it is thick, as we have cornflour. Thank You
love the idea of this sauce. Looks like it would be a great accompaniment to so many things
Yes it is. Thank You
I would like to use fresh habanero chillies. Do you know how much fresh chilli would equal a teaspoon of flakes?
It depends on the chillies. Habenero chillies are hot to my understanding. I would say start with replacing 1 tablespoon flakes with 1.5 tablespoons of fresh. (Ideally, the ratio is 1:3), but when fresh chillies are cooked along, it imparts the same degree of hotness to a food.
Also, it is 1 tablespoon of flakes and not 1 teaspoon.
Thanks,
Renu
does anyone know how many ml or grams this recipe makes?
it says only 1 medium sized bottle...
Hi,
It should give you around 400 grams. Next time I will measure everything and update the recipe.
Thanks,
Renu
@Renu Agrawal Dongre,
thank you so much for the reply! helps alot 🙂
Welcome
Can this be preserved? Can I pressure can or water bath? Id like to make a big batch but dont want to freeze as I rapidly running out of freezer space. Thank you!
This stays good for 3-4 months in the fridge, with proper hygiene practices followed. I have kept it for that long and it was good. I have not pressure canned or water bath it so would not be able to comment. If you need to preserve it the pulp really needs to be cooked properly else it might turn bad.
Made this today, and loving it! I added some jalapeno peppers and reduced the red pepper flakes. I live in the southwest, and well, we use jalapenos in about everything. Anyways, the heat/sweet is perfect and the jalapenos just add a bit of color! Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Thank You so much for your feedback. Glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing, I will try next time with some Jalapeno peppers.
I have 8 large mangos & would like to water bath can this recipe. Advise? Thx
Hi, yes you can water bath them. Do you want instructions on how to water bath? I have never done that, but if you do it should stay good as it has vinegar too in it. Once opened, keep it refrigerated however. Thanks, Renu
I made this and mixed it with some roasted veggies and put it over rice. Yum!!! Freezes well too!
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked it.
Can I make this sauce with canned mangoes? Looks like this would be delicious I’m Korean pancakesI have a few cans of mangoes in the house
Hi, yes it should work with canned mangoes as well, but do check if it already has sugar in it. If yes you would need to adjust accordingly. Thank You.
Easy to find ingredients, short prep and cook time, and such big flavour! This sauce is a total winner.
Can I substitute the ginger with ginger spice? If so, how much? Really want to make this and it’s the only thing I’m missing.
Hi Dorothy, You can add, I have not tried with it, but it should work I believe. Add once its cooked in the last and go with just 1/2 teaspoon or at the max 3/4 teaspoon. As dry ginger spice would be more strong. Let me know if that works. Thank You
ai shall cook it as you showed it on the comiuter,,,ai am glad You said, we could take a fresh Chilli,so ai can take out after ,many People would have ,otherwise a Problem.thank You so much,M.D.
Looks really good, will hopefully make some just before Christmas.
Hope you made it and liked it.
