India is the ‘land of chutneys’; there are so many varieties and types varying from state to state. While the coconut based chutneys of the southern region are to die for, the mint-coriander chutney, Bombay chutney, tamarind chutney etc…are the more popular ones of the Northern regions. But this is just a broad way of looking at it because there are simply too many.

Atypical of many South Indians, I like my chutneys as spreads or dips rather than as an accompaniment for the dosas and idlis. But that’s just me! You will love this one if you are a lover of garlic, like me – the cool, sweetness of the tomatoes are no match for the fiery heat of the garlic and spices.
