Chutney

What is Chutney and How to Use It

Chutney is a versatile and flavorful condiment traditionally made with fruits, vegetables, vinegar, spices, and sugar. It adds a tangy kick to meals and can be used to enhance sauces, meats, fish, or cheese recipes. Unlike ketchup, chutney offers extra versatility and variation, making it a must-have in any kitchen.

Ways to Enjoy Chutney

Chutney is commonly used as a condiment with meat and cheese dishes or in sandwiches. However, it can also be used as a cooking ingredient to elevate everyday recipes. Adding a spoonful to sauces, stews, or pasta dishes can add a special touch to your favorite meals. Additionally, chutney can be transformed into delicious dips for crisps, crackers, or crudites. By mixing it with mayonnaise or crème fraîche, you can create a creamy style dip perfect for appetizers or party snacks.
