Ginger Chutney

6 years ago | Home Cooking
DESCRIPTION
Chutney is a spicy dip that is often found in several snacks and chat items in the northern as well as southern states of the Indian sub-continent. With a flavourful and spicy taste, it is a perfect side for most Indian breakfast items and can also be used as a spicy spread for making sandwiches or vegetable rolls. And, of course, just like every other dish out there, Chutney can be prepared of several varieties too, like Mint Chutney, Coconut chutney, or Onion Chutney. Today, we look at a recipe for a less popular but a really delicious variety, i.e. Ginger Chutney. It is a chutney that can be stored for 4-5 days in the fridge for later use.
