ni/) is a sauce or relish of Indian origin, often compounded of both sweet and sour ingredients, such as fruits and herbs, with spices and other seasoning. Chutneys are often served as accompaniment to main dishes.Chutneys can be wet or dry, coarse or fine. In the past, chutneys were ground with a mortar and pestle made of stone. Nowadays, they are ground with electric blenders. Various spices are added and ground, usually in a particular order; the wet paste is then sauteed in vegetable oil.
The English loan word 'chutney' refers to any condiment fresh or pickled, whereas the original Hindi-Urdu languages make a distinction between 'chutney' (freshly prepared condiments) and 'achar' (pickled or preserved condiments).
