Description

Chutney is a sauce or condiment originating from Indian cuisine, characterized by a balanced blend of sweet, sour, spicy, and spiced flavors. Traditionally, it is made from fruits, vegetables, vinegar, sugar, and a variety of spices, which gives it a texture that can range from liquid to thick or candied.

Its name comes from the Hindi term chatni, and although its roots are in South Asia, chutney has become popular internationally and is common in various cuisines around the world, especially in recipes that seek a contrast of intense flavors. It is used as an accompaniment for meats, fish, cheeses, rice, and fried dishes, providing a refreshing and aromatic touch.

From a nutritional point of view, chutney is usually low in fat, but it may contain natural or added sugars depending on the ingredients used. In addition, many fruits and spices used in its preparation are rich in antioxidants and vitamins.

In the Latin American context, chutney is also known as sweet and sour sauce or spiced marmalade, although the term "chutney" remains common in many countries. In some places, it may simply be called spiced fruit sauce.
