"The chutney is usually served as a spread or a dip, but it's also used in many other ways such as being added to curries, chicken dishes, snacks, and sandwiches. It is believed that the best mango chutney should have flavours that are sweet, sour, and slightly spicy," it noted. Calling chutneys "India's national condiments", Taste Atlas said these are fresh homemade relishes and their role is to cool the palate and bring even more flavours and colours to the table. "Most families take great pride in their homemade chutneys, their houses decorated with rows of jars left to mature in the sun on windowsills." Coconut chutney, on the other hand, is a popular South Indian condiment which consists of a coconut stew that is combined with shallots, tamarind, ginger, chillies, and curry leaves. And, tamarind or imli chutney is a traditional Indian chutney made with tamarind as the main ingredient. Finally, green chutney is a traditional Indian chutney made with green herbs and vegetables as the main ingredients. 📣 For more lifestyle news, follow us on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook and don't miss out on the latest updates!
