Chutneys

Indian chutneys are very different from the ones in the West as they invariably do not include vinegar. As a result, they do not have such a long shelf-life but frankly, given their incredible flavours, they would not last long in any pantry. Instead, they are made and eaten fresh on the day. Chutneys elevate any meal, bringing stimulating flavours to the dishes. They are also a delicious accompaniment to all the snacks and breakfasts in this book. Most can be made within 15 minutes using basic ingredients, requiring little effort to create something memorable. You can modify the spiciness to suit your individual tastes.
