Orange chutney (Santre ki chutney)

(Orange chutney, संतरे की चटनी)

Orange chutney is a traditional chutney made with oranges as the main ingredient. Other ingredients usually include sugar, water, tamarind pulp, salt, and roasted jeera powder. There are many orange chutney variations made with different additional ingredients such as mustard, urad dal, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, or bengal gram dal.


The ingredients are cooked until the mixture becomes slightly smooth or coarse, and the chutney is usually served as a spread or a dip, but it's also used as an accompaniment to rice, chapati, or roti. It is believed that the best orange chutney has flavors that are sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy.
