Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC). Place chicken legs on a baking sheet and roast until browned and heated through, about 20-25 minutes.
-
For the chutney: Peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and ginger.
-
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the diced mango and chopped ginger to the pan. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add raisins, sugar, vinegar, ketchup, coriander, turmeric, and pepper to the pan.
-
Reduce heat to low and let the chutney simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
-
Remove chutney from heat and let it cool. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
While chutney simmers, cook rice in salted boiling water according to package instructions until tender. Drain well.
-
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
-
Peel carrots and cut into fine strips or grate them.
-
In the same skillet used for coconut, melt butter over medium heat.
-
Add the carrots to the skillet and fry briefly until slightly softened.
-
Add sugar to the carrots and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and caramelizes slightly.
-
Combine the cooked rice, caramelized carrots, and toasted coconut in a serving bowl. Mix well.

Serve the carrot-coconut rice with the roasted chicken legs and a generous spoonful of the cooled mango chutney.
