India is a country of various tastes, where spices, herbs, and fresh produce mix to make delectable dishes. Of these, chutneys are the most cherished in any Indian kitchen. Sweet and sour, hot and spicy, chutneys enhance the variety of dishes, giving an additional kick of flavor and fragrance. At Mount Karol, we offer you homemade-style chutneys prepared with traditional recipes and quality ingredients. Let us see some of the most mouth-watering chutneys from other parts of India.

1. Garlic Ajwain Chutney – A Spicy and Aromatic Delight

Garlic Ajwain Chutney is a bold and flavorful chutney that combines the pungency of garlic with the warm, slightly bitter taste of ajwain (carom seeds). This chutney is not just a treat for your taste buds but also offers multiple health benefits. Garlic is known for its antibacterial properties, while ajwain aids digestion and relieves bloating. This chutney pairs well with parathas, rotis, or even as a side dip with snacks.

2. Ginger Chutney – A Zesty and Healthy Condiment

Ginger Chutney, or "Allam Pachadi" as it is referred to in South India, is a slightly sweet and tangy chutney that adds zest and warmth to your food. Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory spice that eases digestion and increases immunity. The chutney is often served with idlis, dosas, and rice meals, providing a flavor punch and a freshness boost.

3. Apricot Chutney – A Sweet and Sour Himalayan Delicacy

Prepared with ripe apricots plucked from the raw but crisp hills, Apricot Chutney is a delicious combination of sweetness and sourness. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, this chutney is a healthy complement to your dishes. Spread on toast, accompanied with cheese, or served with grilled meats, this chutney is an absolute favorite for those who relish fruity tastes.

4. Himachali Green Chilli Garlic Chutney – Spicy Flair of the Hills

The state of Himachal Pradesh is famous for its bold and spicy cuisine, and Himachali Green Chilli Garlic Chutney is a fine example of this culinary tradition. Prepared with fresh green chilies and garlic, the chutney is hot, pungent, and packed with flavors. It is an ideal companion for momos, pakoras, and local Himachali fare such as siddu and chana madra.

5. Saunth Chutney – The Sweet and Spicy Tamarind Classic

A North Indian favorite, Saunth Chutney is prepared using dry ginger (saunth) and tamarind, and hence has a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavor. It is used extensively in chaats, samosas, and kachoris to add a tangy flavor to them. It also helps in digestion and in controlling cold and cough because of the warming nature of ginger.

6. Bengali Tomato Chutney – Sweet and Salty Delicacy

While in Bengal chutneys have a special role at the fag end of the meal for clearing the palate, Bengali Tomato Chutney is itself a special chutney blending juicy tomatoes with jaggery and whole spices, giving us a delectable sweet-and-salty delight. With slight notes of mustard seeds and dried fruits, Bengali Tomato Chutney comes with rice, dal, as well as crispy fried snacks as a great partner.

It goes extremely well with dosas, sandwiches, and even grilled meats, so it is a great addition to your kitchen.
