Guyana Mango sour is a delightful sauce made with green mango. It is balanced with lime, garlic and of course chili peppers. In Guyana it would likely be the wiri-wiri pepper that they use in just about everything. This sauce/chutney is very spicy and it mellows with time in the refrigerator. It is outstanding with the just out of the fryer pholourie however it would be awesome with many other things as well, just a shrimp dip or on chicken or well, you get the idea. Adjust the heat to your liking. You want to use a firm green mango for this recipe.
