Recopies Dhania Chutney
Chutney or Chatni is a term for
a condiment that originated in
India which is spicy or sweet.
It could be thought of being
similar to the salsa or relish
as it usually involves a fresh,
chopped primary vegetable/fruit
with seasonings added and used
to accompany another food to add
that extra flavor.
Traditionally, chutney was made
in a stone maker and is often
regarded as vital to create the
ideal chutney and perhaps tasted
more delicious. Back home, in my
Nani's (Grandma) home, they
still use the stone maker to
make chutney and to be honest it
really is delectable when
compared to using any electric
grinder.
