Spiced Tomato Chutney
Chutney is one of the best-known accompaniments in Indian cuisine, made with various spices and ingredients. The tomato version is especially popular because it is sweet, tangy, and spicy all at once. It spread to Europe during the British colonial period, and today it is a favorite accompaniment to grilled meats, cheeses, and toast around the world. It's the perfect choice on a cold winter evening with a hot toast, but it also goes great with cheeses and roasted meats. If you're craving more intense flavors, try adding a little extra chili to make it even spicier.
