Zanzibar mango chutney is a common condiment. The chutney is served like ketchup is with fries. A little bit to dip your chapati in, or especially your coconut crusted fish, yum. This is a simple recipe and it just takes a few minutes to whip up. The recipe calls for green mango which is simply an unripe mango. Of course it is spiced up with the amazing spices of the Island.
