Mango and mustard are not a new combination for us. Mango kasundi or aam kasundi is a sauce made with these two ingredients from Bengali cuisine. While raw mango is used there, here we are using ripe mangoes in our sauce.
I tasted this super amazing sauce at a friend’s last year but mango season had already passed before I could try. So when I got my hands on ripe mango this year, I made this sauce without missing 🙂
The pungency of mustard is so well balanced by sweet mangoes. Here I have used only regular mustard as kasundi or yellow mustard was not available.
If you have yellow or dijon mustard do use that in this recipe for a more delicate flavor.
Unlike many recipes available online, this is a vegan and low cal mango mustard dipping sauce. Yes we are not using mayo or sour cream here.
Of course there are cashews but we are using 6 cashews in total for a good 2 cups sauce. If you want you can leave it out too, but cashews lend such a creamy texture to this sauce.
So what I have I used instead of mayo or sour cream you ask? Our good old coconut milk 🙂 I used super thick almost like cream coconut milk and it held up so beautifully in this sauce.
Mango and coconut, more tropical goodness that you cannot resist. Do try this delicious thing when we have best sweet mangoes out there.

One more way to enjoy mangoes and that’s what counts 🙂
Though it is a very simple recipe with only 8 ingredients, this dipping sauce has such a lovely texture, yummy taste with unmistakable flavor.
The flavor of mustard and mango pairs up so well and there are jalapenos for heat. I luckily had some fresh jalapenos and used them. If you do not have, you can easily use any variety of green chilies.
If you have coconut cream you can use it here. It will make creamier sauce than using coconut milk. I have however used chilled thick coconut milk only.
I like to add few cashews in recipes that call for a smooth sauce or gravy. Adding cashews lend a wonderful silky texture and also slight nutty sweet taste which is very good in this sauce.
For lower cal option you can use blanched almonds but the texture wouldn’t be as smooth. Instead of adding any nuts you can simply increase the quantity of coconut milk by another 2 tablespoons.
Use ripe and sweet mango that are less fibrous. You do not want fibrous pulps in your sauce. If fresh mangoes are not an option, use tinned mango pulp, make sure it is unsweetened.
Finally I have used a dash of grated fresh turmeric and it added to flavor and taste greatly.
So now that you have all the tips and ingredients let’s get into the mango mustard dipping sauce recipe.
