About Chutney
What is Chutney?
A chutney is a condiment that is sweet and spicy. There are many different types of chutneys made from a variety of ingredients. A chutney is comprised of a freshly chopped or crushed primary vegetables (or fruit) mixed with seasonings.Chutney, is a term that refers to a broad range of condiments, much like the terms salsa and relish, but is set apart from the others by its combination of sweet and spicy.
The term for "to make chutney" in Hindi, is a common idiom for "to crush". A mortar and pestle are often used to crush the ingredients in the chutney.
The making of chutney is traditionally done fresh, and so no preservatives are added. In some regions - like North America, Europe, and Australia, chutney is often made with a preserving agent such as vegetable oil, vinegar, or lemon juice so that it can be jarred and stored for future consumption.
