Sandwich chutney is a flavourful and versatile condiment that adds a burst of taste to sandwiches. Fresh coriander leaves contribute a vibrant green colour to the chutney. The green chillies add a spicy kick, bringing an element of heat to the chutney.

You can adjust the number of chillies according to personal preference. The lemon juice provides a tangy brightness to the chutney, elevating its freshness. The sugar acts as a natural flavour enhancer by balancing the acidity and spiciness of the other ingredients in the chutney. The salt helps to bring out the taste of individual ingredients and ensures a well-seasoned chutney.

You can use sandwich chutney in various ways, including as a spread for sandwiches or as a dipping sauce for snacks like samosas and pakoras. This can also be used as a marinade for grilled meats or vegetables, imparting its vibrant flavours to the dish.

Today, I’m excited to share with you the recipe that holds a special significance in my kitchen – a Sandwich chutney, a recipe that I’ve lovingly adopted from the culinary expertise of my mother-in-law.
