About

Naomi especially loves sweet-hot chutneys, and this sultana chutney is just that. The raisins are spiced with cumin seed, warmed with ginger, and made hot with fresh chiles. It is an excellent dish to serve on the side with a pulao, and perhaps a yogurt dish as well. We also serve it with plain rice and Bengali Potato and Cauliflower Curry for a good simple meal.
