Be it north Indian favourites like paratha and butter chicken, or south Indian specialties like dosa and idli, chutney must accompany these meals to provide us a full-fledged experience. With a vast variety of Indian foods across the country, there is a whole range of different chutneys that can be prepared to accompany them, that too as per individual taste preferences. Coriander chutney, coconut chutney, mint (pudina) chutney - the options are infinite. Just to add another one to the long but inexhaustible list, we have got a recipe of yummy chutney that you'll surely love - kiwi mint chutney.
The exciting amalgamation of fruit and herb in a side dish is something we found very interesting. Given that kiwi has the similar tarty and tangy taste that we prefer in our chutneys, it made total sense to convert it into one. Kiwi and mint, make a strange yet terrific combo. The fruity flavour and kiwi and sharpness of mint herb meld together perfectly to make a great-tasting side dish for our Indian meals. On top of all this, high vitamin C content of kiwi and powerful antioxidants properties of mint come together to make this chutney a great addition to your immunity-boosting diet.
