Chutney: Sweet, Sour, with maybe a little Heat
Ah, chutney, a condiment combining fruits and spices that will tantalize the taste buds, and have you looking for more. There are so many varieties of this great food, which is most often prepared fresh. With its consistency similar to that of jelly, salsa or relish, chutney is a great addition to so many foods.
Chutney always includes fruit kicked up a bit with spice. Common fruits include apricots, mangoes, limes, peaches, guava, plums, dates, tomatoes, lemons, apples, and coconuts. For the spice: cilantro, mint, cloves, garlic, mustard, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, chillies, tamarind, cumin.
Sounds yummy, huh?

About Chutney
Chutney (Hindi: ????; Urdu: ???? ) (British spelling) or chatni (Hindi, Urdu, Bengali or Tamil - ?????) is a term for a variety of sweet and spicy condiments, originally from the South Asia usually involving a fresh, chopped primary vegetable or fruit with added seasonings. Chutney, as a genre, is often similar to the Indian pickle and the salsa of Latin American cuisine, or European relish.
Chutney may be dry or wet; dry chutney is generally in the form of powder. In India, a chutney is often made to be eaten fresh, using whatever suitable strongly flavoured ingredients are locally traditional or available at the time. It would not normally contain preserving agents, since it is intended to be consumed soon after preparation. The Hindi translation of "to make chutney" is a common idiom meaning "to crush". This is because the process of making chutney often involves the crushing together of the ingredients.
The use of a stone mortar and pestle is often regarded as vital to create the ideal chutney. It consists of a small stone bowl (called a "kharal" or "khal" in Hindi, Tamil kal ???), or a flat piece of stone (called a "sil") on which the ingredients are crushed together with a rounded stick of stone or wood (called a "batta", pronounced with a hard 't').
Chutney is more familiar in North America and Europe in a form that can be stored. To this end, vegetable oil, vinegar, or lemon juice are used to enhance the keeping properties.

Chilis to Chutneys: American Home Cooking with the Flavors of India

Chilis to Chutneys: American Home Cooking with the Flavors of India
Amazon Price: (as of 08/21/2008)
A ginger-scented hamburger on the grill. Steaming pasta redolent of eggplant and fenugreek. Stir-fried garlic with the pungent aroma of chopped cilantro. In Chilis to Chutneys author Neelam Batra takes familiar American fare and reinterprets it using her Indian spice cupboard and cooking know-how. Try French Fries with Chaat Masala, Pizza Naan with Green cilantro Chutney and Grilled Seekh Kebab Rolls, or Basmati "Risotto" with Wild Mushrooms for new taste-tingling twists on old favorites.
She also shows how traditional Indian preparations can make the transition to the American table. Think of curry as nothing more than a kind of stew. Use piquant chutneys as you would salsas to serve on the side with fish or chicken. And introduce the taste of the tandooe oven to your next barbecue with Grilled Ginger and Lemon Chicken Drumsticks and Flame Roasted Corn on the Cob.
Two hundred recipes in all, Chilis to Chutneys will add a welcoming zing to your everyday cooking.
