There’s nothing like a good curry night. But you know what takes it from ‘just nice’ to ‘oh wow’? The chutney on the side. Whether you're serving up a fiery daal, creamy korma or a tray of crispy bhajis, the right chutney can add balance, contrast and serious flavour lift.

Why Chutney Belongs on Every Curry Table

A great curry is rich and bold. A great chutney? It cuts through the spice, complements the heat and makes your plate sing. From cooling freshness to sweet tang, chutney is the unsung hero of Indian food pairings — and once you find your favourites, you’ll never skip it again.

1. Date & Tamarind Chutney – The Sweet & Tangy Classic

This chutney is a staple with chaats and snacks for good reason. That sticky sweetness from dates and tang from tamarind is a perfect contrast to bold curries, especially anything fried, spicy or deep like chana masala or lamb bhuna.

2. Mint Chutney – Cool, Fresh & Herby

For something lighter and zingier, mint chutney brings a fresh herbal note that cools spicy food and brightens up fried snacks. Think pakoras, samosas, or even a biryani. Try mixing it into yoghurt for a DIY raita-style dip.

3. Chilli Chutney – For Heat Seekers

Love heat on heat? This one’s for you. Our Chilli Chutney adds fire and flavour to any curry night. Add it on the side, swirl it into sauces, or spoon it over a crispy onion bhaji. It’s sweet, spicy, and totally addictive.

4. Apple Chutney – Comforting & Balanced

If your curry night leans toward the creamy or rich (butter chicken, anyone?), Apple Chutney adds a mellow sweetness that balances everything out. Especially good with veggie curries or koftas.

5. Tomato & Pineapple Chutney – Fruity & Unexpected

This is our wild card. Tropical, sweet and tangy, it pairs beautifully with milder curries, grilled meats, and even as a dip for parathas. No spice here — just pure, bright flavour.
