One of my favorite parts of dining at an Indian restaurant is the assortments of sauces that accompany the meal. The little bowls of chutneys pack a mighty punch, adding bold hits of flavor to every bite. According to food writer Annada D. Rathi, chutney probably comes from the Hindi word “chaatna,” meaning “to lick,” and food historian Pushpesh Pant “hypothesizes that chutneys may be among the oldest known prepared foods.”
But there’s a whole wide world of chutneys out there, pulling influences from a wide variety of cultures and cuisines. We’ve picked out a few of our favorite recipes, ranging from traditional to experimental. If you’re looking for even more chutney recipes, find them in our archives of over 10,000 tested and trusted recipes.
