What is that? How should I eat it? Do you cook it with sumthin else? Thanks.

Originating in India, chutney was imported from India to Western Europe in the 17th century. European reproductions of chutney were often called "mangoed" fruits and vegetables, as one of the most common fruits used in the making of chutney is the mango.
Some of the more popular ingredients for chutney, in addition to mangoes, are limes, apples, peaches, plums, apricots, tomatoes, lemons and even coconuts. Additional spices may include cloves, garlic, cilantro, mustard, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, jalapenos, tamarind and mint.

Chutney is so diverse that it can be made with only a few of these ingredients or several, to make a variety of flavors and styles.

Chutney is usually eaten fresh in its native India, but as chutney has been westernized, like many things, it is mass-produced and can be bought in nearly any supermarket in the western world. In the United States and Britain, offering chutney as a condiment is becoming nearly as popular as jam, relish and even ketchup.

Chutney can be served at a formal dinner as a condiment for a fancy meal, or at a casual picnic with tortilla chips or crackers.
Whatever the occasion, chutney is a tasty, sweet and sour treat that is sure to please

So you can use the mango chutney as a dip, the same way you will use any dip for chips or vice versa, mango chutney it's just not for eating with curried foods alone, but it does taste good with curied foods though.
