A chutney is a condiment or relish that originated in India, typically made from a combination of spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Chutneys can be sweet, sour, or spicy, and are often used to add flavour and texture to dishes such as curries, sandwiches, and snacks. They can be made with a wide variety of ingredients, including tomato, tamarind, mint, cilantro, and coconut. Chutneys are also commonly used in Indian cuisine as a dip or spread.
