What is chutney?
Originally from India, chutney — derived from the Hindi word catni, meaning “to crush” and “strong spices” — is a traditional preparation that accompanied curries. Introduced to Europe by the British, chutney is now known as a sweet-and-sour condiment made from fruits, sugar, vinegar, and spices. It brings depth and contrast to savory dishes, especially cheeses, grilled meats, and vegetarian recipes.
