Strawberry Chutney

Hi Supermoms,

'Chutneys' are interesting accompaniments to tiffin and snack dishes . A delicious chutney can elevate the taste of the main dish . Though vegetable chutneys are more popular, fruit chutneys are an interesting way to add fruits in your family's diet. Today I am sharing a very unique chutney recipe that can be served along with any Indian Chaat or Snacks  or along with Dosai or Idli. You can also use this as a sandwich spread or a taco spread. 

Strawberries are known for their anti-aging properties and they are now in season. Do try this interesting chutney recipe with season's freshest strawberries.
