What's a Chutney?

A chutney is a traditional accompaniment to Indian foods. It is a coarse relish or condiment usually made from tropical fruits, ginger, and herbs. Chutneys usually have notes of spicy, sweet, and sour, and can be used as a dipping sauce, a bread spread, or as a glaze.

Yields approx. 2 cups

I like to spoon some of this chutney on a plate and top it with roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower acts as a sponge, soaking up every last drop.
