There are numerous variations, combinations, and textures of chutney recipes. Some chutneys require slight sautéing then grinding whereas some ground raw.  Some are fruit-based, vegetable-based, or a mixture of both with various herbs and spices. Some chutneys have chunks, some are dry, some chutneys are thick and creamy, whereas some are thin paste.  Some are sweet, salty, spicy, or tangy, and some are all in one.
