Our palates are trained to love the spicier chutneys from childhood and these chutneys are more on the sweeter side and would be a dessert as you said.
This surely sounds excellent Vaishali. I would love to make it sometime…some months back I tasted their sweet tomato chutney that had loads of raisins, etc, and it was so lip-smacking!. I can’t wait to try this recipe…
I was thinking about pineapple chutney the other day and here it is. I shall try it out for my little one who likes milder chutneys.
That’s indeed one dessert chutney. I can just eat them as is 🙂 Love pineapples. Amazing pick and a great thali.
That is interesting sweet chutney using pineapple. Being a spice lover I will add some green chillies extra and have them. Looks too tempting. Looks like we can use as sandwich spread too.
I have made this chutney but added panch phoran spice too in it. I love this version of yours too, it looks like a delicious spread for my morning paratha.
