Chutney(s)

Dhania Murgh Tikka with Strawberry Chutney

An Indian meal will be incomplete with out Chutney in any of its meal period.

Ask any South Indian; especially Tamils about chutneys ; they will tell you how Chutneys are closely associated in their daily meal (Idly with coconut chutney; dosa with Chutney; Pongal with Chutney; even i will say the "Milagaai Podi" is a kind of dry Chutney.) Malli Chutney (Coriander Chutney), Curry Leaf Chutney........it goes on & on.

I like to try few different Chutneys in my menu. One among them is STRAWBERRY CHUTNEY;which was well recieved by clients & the food critics aswell. There is a English version of this particular one which is normally used along with Cheese platters; but this one is to meet the 'desi' palate

STRAWBERRY CHUTNEY

Fresh Strawberries - 1 Bowl

Green chillies - 2 No's

Sugar - 2 Tblspn

Lemon Juice (optional)- 1 Tspn.

Mint Leaves - Few

Wash & clean the strawberries & blend it along with rest of the ingredients. Don not over grind it as it will become too thin. Add chopped mint leaves just before serving

CHEF'S TIP : The amount of sugar may vary according to the sweetness of the strawberries. If it's too sweet; then there may be no need of sugar. Same applies with Lemon juice. Occasionally, you may get sour ones. So, care to be taken while adding these two ingredients.

well, please note that this chutney will not suit as an accompaniment with normal tiffin items like Idly/ dosa. It will match very well with Chicken Malai Tikka, Aloo tikki & some less non spicy & pan fried items. It will grab the attention in any kitty parties ; where you have friends who likes to experiment new things in food.
