Note

The recipe originally listed an empty ingredient for 1/4 cup; this has been corrected to brown sugar based on the misplaced text in the directions and standard chutney recipes.

For a thicker consistency, you can microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes uncovered. For a smoother texture, blend the chutney with an immersion blender after cooking.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors meld and improve after a day or two.

This chutney pairs excellently with grilled chicken, pork chops, paneer dishes, or as a spread on sandwiches and cheese boards.
