WHAT DOES CHUTNEY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chutney

Chutney

Chutney is a family of condiments mainly associated with South Asian cuisine that usually contain some mixture of spice, vegetable, and/or fruit. There are many varieties of chutney. Chutneys may be either wet or dry, and can have a coarse to a fine texture. The Indian word refers to fresh and pickled preparations indiscriminately, with preserves often sweetened. Several Indian languages use the word for fresh preparations only. A different word achār applies to preserves that often contain oil and are rarely sweet. Vinegar, citrus, tamarind, or lemon juice may be added as natural preservatives, or fermentation in the presence of salt may be used to create acid. The name "chutney" covers a wide variety of foodstuffs. The common element which makes them all "chutneys" is that they are added to meals to add flavour; the best English "translation" of "chutney" is "relish". As such, they can be, and are, eaten with a wide variety of foods. Traditionally, chutneys are ground with a mortar and pestle made of stone or an ammikkal.
