Chutney is actually a Hinglish word for \u091a\u091f\u0928\u0940<\/strong>. Basically Chutney is a term used to describe a side dish that\u00a0accompanies a main dish. The side dish is usually in a wet, liquidy, or thick saucy form,\u00a0but sometimes dry spices are used as well. Chutney is usually either sweet or spicy. Long ago Chutney was made by grounding\u00a0the spices\u00a0with a grinding stone or a wooden mortar and pestle.
