The mango chutney gives these burgers a nice sweet but spicy flavor. We have a very nice mango chutney from Surinam which is quite spicy so the burgers are very flavorful.

    Oh, forgot to ask: what could you substitute/easily make instead of the mango chutney? Yogurt sauce? Cooked apples? I don’t usually buy chutney. Thanks!

    These sound incredible. I will definitely have to try them. My Mom loves anything and everything even vaguely Indian.

    This was really great. I added shredded cabbage and raisins to the mix (since I had no chutney). It was delicious!

  8. WOW! This looks absolutely mouthwatering. I can’t wait to try it….time to go to the grocery store.
