A Taste of Yellow 2009: Mango Ginger Chutney
posted by virtual chef on Sep 13, 2009 | Sides and Beverages |
LiveStrong with A Taste of Yellow is a yearly food blogging event hosted by Winos and Foodies as her way of supporting the Lance Armstrong Foundation and raising awareness of cancer issues worldwide. The idea is to make a dish or drink that contains a yellow food. This is my first time to participate. But this is not the first time I have been touched by cancer. I lost my father to lung cancer. He was barely 50 years old when he was taken from us. For those of us left behind, the experience can either cripple us…or make us aware of strength within ourselves we do not realize exist. And this strength is what I continue to witness, especially from two strong people very dear to me, both of whom are are cancer survivors: my aunt who is a breast cancer survivor for 16 years now and my husband, a prostate cancer survivor of 6 years. We all know the story of Lance Armstrong who was diagnosed with cancer 10 years ago. And has gone on to win the Tour De France 7 times. After a four year break, he came back to the Tour and managed to come home in third place. Let’s all draw from his courage and strength. And keep supporting all efforts to find a cure for cancer.
This recipe was adapted from the book Healthy South Indian Cooking
 And remember, September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ripe mango, diced
- 2 tbs cup minced ginger root
- 1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes

I love Mangos so I shall try this recipe soon . Thank you for your support Raquel. How wonderful your aunt and husband both kicked cancer in the butt.
This looks so yummy! And it’s for a great cause. I can’t wait to try this recipe for a future bento box.
Great recipe for a great cause:) Sorry about your loss. Thanks for sharing.
That looks awesome. I’ll be waiting for mango season. I love the flavors. Your post is really yellow – the turmeric, the ginger (almost) and the mango. I will definitely try this. Thank you for this wonderful chutney.
Another mango chutney recipe that is a keeper.
Love this chutney and make it often during the mango season here. Your picture of the chutney is very pretty.
You’re right. In such situations one either gives in emotionally or finds the strength from within.
Yum, this looks good. What a great cause to participate in.
