Ingredient Information
Chutney
Chutney is a sweet-sour condiment. It is made with fruit and/or vegetables - usually exotic ones such as mango, pineapple and tamarind, but also with more common ones such as grapes, eggplants, melon or onions. These are cooked together with sugar and vinegar, as well as spices, in much the same way as jams or preserves. Some recipes are smooth, like jelly and others are chunky and have bits and pieces of the fruits and vegetables in them.
A lot of chutneys don't have nutrition information on them. Assume that they have the same amount of calories as any jelly.
