Hot - Sweet & Sour Chutney
Wow, made a flavour bomb chutney out of a few ingredients I had at hand,
using Golden Raisins as the base and for texture.

Ingredients and measurements
A 200ml glass of Golden Raisins
1 tbsp Cider Vinegar or any other, I should think.
Pinch or 0.25 tsp Salt
Pinch or 0.25 tsp pepper
Pinch or 0.25 tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
A couple of fresh Green Chillis or more if you can take the heat.
1 tsp of Tamerina
1 tbsp of runny Honey

What I did.
Put the raisins in the blender
Add the chopped Green Chillis
Add the Tamerina
Add the Runny Honey
Dissolve the powders in the Vinegar
and add it to the blender.
Blitz it all for a couple of minutes and you end up with a
chilli Jam type chutney, that's the one on the right in the photo.

The one on the left in the photo, I made into more of a sauce, by adding
boiling water to the Raisins before blending.

Both very spicy, ideal with your poppadom's.
I'll be trying this with some juicy Dates or Figs, when I get some.

Give this one a go Jerry

Hi Jerry
Not made any chutney for ages, I remember making quite a few versions of this,
even ones with Mr.Naga or Sriracha for the chilli heat. All worked well for my tastes.

Also made this with Dates, but preferred the Golden Raisins.

Worth an experiment or two good fun  ;D
cheers Chewy

chewytikka,

well pleased you posted this.

i left out the vinegar (one of few tips from Bengali chef). i used cheapo sultanas and now need to get the real deal - golden raisins.

have used it (1 htbsp) in plain madras, rogan and dopiaza - really pleased. i'm not 100% sorted on the taste i'm after but really good step forward.
