The most interesting part of the vast Indian cuisine is the delicious chutneys and relishes; they add a different dimension to any meal and no meal is complete without them. The varieties are many and they can be prepared at home in a few minutes with easily available ingredients like tomatoes, fruits, coconut, yogurt, herbs, garlic, onion, chillies or peanuts to name a few. Home- made chutneys are healthier as they are fresh and do not contain artificial colour, flavour or preservatives. Sweet chutneys are used in breads or biscuits, the spicy ones can be used as dips and combine well with dosa/idli, upma, paratha, samosa etc. This book has mostly Indian style chutneys except for a few Asian types and guaranteed to please the taste buds.
