Chutney and Pickle play a vital role in Indian cuisine. It can transform any uninteresting meal to quite a pleasant one, tease your palate and boost the flavor. The varieties available are as vast as our country and each state has a favorite! However, there are two types of chutney that, I believe, are most common and serve as a basic starting point. Typically, they are referred as red chutney and green chutney!
This is how I like to categorize spicy food.. 'Spice Spicy', 'Gingery Spicy' and 'Chilly Spicy' :) All I need on my daily diet is a dish with lots of flavor and a hint of spice. However, there are days when I crave for nothing more than a super-spicy delicious homemade meal. Like chilly chicken or tom-yum soup or spicy chicken wings or roasted pepper dipping sauce. These kind of cravings mostly happen during cold winter.. Or when I have cold/fever and the medicines have killed my taste bud.
