Variations

If you do not like the raw smell of onion in the chutney, just add ½ of a green bell pepper (capsicum) instead.

You can make this chutney in bulk and put it in ice tray. After it is frozen, put the chutney cubes in a ziploc bag in the freezer. This way you can take a cube and use it whenever needed.
