Milk Street and Pure Indian Foods Mango Cooking Sauce

We teamed up with Pure Indian Foods to make a cooking sauce that brings sunny, savory-sweet flavor to almost anything—it works as a meal starter, dip, grilling sauce and condiment. We started with a base of Pure Indian Foods’ bestselling Mango Puree—a silky, juicy blend of highly prized Alphonso mangoes we have loved for years—and added layers of robust flavor with chopped raisin and onion. And spices bring tang and savoriness without any strong heat: we added ginger, green and black cardamom, cinnamon, amchoor (powdered sour mango) and clove, among other warming spices. While most mango chutneys can be jam-like and thick, this lighter consistency of our savory-sweet sauce is delicious as a meal starter or simmer sauce, a grilling sauce for seafood or a dip for fritters, tempera, chicken—you name it.
