Chutney in an Indian recipe is usually a fresh condiment, unlike a western chutney which is a preserved dish. Coriander, lemon and chilli give this beautifully fresh accompaniment a lovely zing. Serve alongside a variety of curries including chicken tikka or aloo gobi (see recipes).

There are dozens of variations of this dish that have developed over time. In India, chutney is usually made immediately before a meal, using local ingredients, to optimize the nutritional benefits.

Ensure your stuffing is completely cool before use.
