Chutney Recipes
Mom's Tomato Chutney - Indian Tomato Relish
I love this simple, easy-to-prepare Chutney. My Mom usually serves it with Pulaos and Biryanis. It also tastes really good with Stuffed Parathas.
Chunda - Chundo - Hot Sour Sweet Mango Pickle from Gujarat
This delicious pickle takes time and effort to make but the results are well worth it! Traditionally, the pickle is kept out in the sun for 20-30 days to 'cook'. Each day it is given a good stir, covered and placed in a sunny spot, then brought indoors at dusk. The sun makes the sugar in it melt to a syrupy consistency! Since most of us don't have the time and sometimes the sun (!) required to do this, here is a quick and less time consuming version of the recipe.
Nagi's Garlic Gunpowder
This Andhra (from Andhra Pradesh in South India) version of the famous Gunpowder Chutney was created by a family friend, Nagi. Enjoy!

It sounds fiery but isn't as fierce as the name suggests! Curd Chilly is a pickle of sorts from south India. You can eat it exactly as is or fry it in a little oil. Curd Chilly goes well with Curd Rice and plain boiled rice and Sambar (south Indian style lentils).

Hell's Flame
This really hot chutney lives up to it's name! Anglo-Indian in origin, it was and still is, eaten with pulaos (pilafs) and meat curries and a salad. To still be able to enjoy it, you can reduce the amount of red chillies.
