STRAWBERRY CHUTNEY

Strawberry Chutney

I love strawberries, and I love chutneys too.
In an attempt to make something “Out-Of-The-Box” using strawberries, I tried making chutney out of them and I am so happy that it came out to be super tasty and pleasantly different.

This chutney is sweet and sour in taste with some hints of chili-flakes, black pepper and lovely aroma of fennel or ‘saunf ‘. It goes really well with North Indian cuisines.

This Strawberry Chutney can be used as an accompaniment for chaats, as a dip with crackers, as a spread over bread or even along with parathas for breakfast.
You can also replace jam with this chutney in your kids’ tiffin and I am sure they will love it 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

Chopped Strawberries – 10 to 12
Brown Sugar – 1 cup
Salt- a pinch
Black Pepper- 1/2 Tsp
Fennel Seeds (Saunf) – 1 Tsp
Chilli Flakes – 1/4 tsp / fresh red chili chopped
Lime juice- 1 Tsp
Olive Oil- 2 Tsp

INSTRUCTIONS :

In a mixing bowl, add chopped strawberries, salt, and brown sugar. Toss it gently and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
After some time strawberries will release its juices as you can see below :
In a non-stick pan, heat oil. Add fennel seeds and chopped red chilli to it.
Once the spices begin to swell up, add chopped strawberries and black pepper. Mix well. Cook the mixture on low flame for 15-20 minutes till it gains paste-like consistency.
Once the mixture is of desired consistency, switch off the flame. Add lime juice to it. Mix well.
Store it in airtight bottles in the refrigerator. Enjoy!!
