Pairing chutneys with your favorite dishes for added flavor

Imli chutney, also known as tamarind chutney, is an Indian condiment made from tamarind pulp, jaggery (unrefined sugar), and a blend of spices. Imli chutney has a complex and well-balanced flavour profile, with a slightly sweet and sour taste and a hint of spice. It is a key ingredient in many chaat (street food) dishes, such as pani puri and bhel puri, and can also be used as a dipping sauce for samosas and bhajiyas (fried snacks).

Imli chutney pairs well with spicy dishes, as the sweetness helps to balance out the heat. It's also great as a dipping sauce for tikkis (potato cakes) and pakoras (vegetable fritters).

Kokum chutney is a tangy and refreshing condiment made from kokum fruit, which is native to the western coast of India. It's popular in the western state of Maharashtra and is often used to add a sour kick to dishes like biryani and kadhi. It has a tangy, slightly sour flavour and a vibrant red colour, and is often used as a substitute for tamarind in chutney recipes.

Kokum chutney pairs well with seafood dishes, as the sourness helps to cut through the richness of the fish. It is often used as a digestive aid and has a cooling effect on the body.

Garlic chutney is a spicy and pungent condiment made from garlic, red chillies, and a blend of spices. It has a strong, pungent flavour and a slightly thick consistency. Garlic chutney is a popular condiment in Indian and South Asian cuisine and is often used as a dipping sauce or spread.

It is usually served with foods such as vada pav (spiced potato dumpling in a bun), idli (steamed rice cakes), and dhokla. Garlic chutney pairs well with savoury dishes such as sandwiches, wraps, and toast, as the bold flavour helps to enhance the natural flavours of the dish.
