Chutneys are cold savory dips, mostly based on fruit and onions. They are a perfect accompaniment to roasted aromas, so they go well with grilled food. The combination of acidity, spiciness and sweetness and the contrast between cold and hot make chutneys so popular.
The sharpness is regulated with chili peppers. It is advisable to initially set aside the seeds and placenta of the fresh pods, as this is where most of the hot ingredients are found.
