Etymology
The word 'chutney' comes from the Hindi word 'เคเคเคจเฅ' (chatnฤซ), which is derived from the verb 'เคเคเคจเคพ' (chatnฤ), meaning 'to lick'. The use of chutneys can be traced back to ancient times in India, where they were originally made as a means of preserving fruits and vegetables using spices and vinegar or sugar. Over the centuries, chutney recipes evolved, incorporating regional ingredients and culinary techniques. During the British colonial period, chutneys were introduced to Western cuisine, gaining popularity as condiments that pair well with a variety of dishes. As globalization occurred, chutney recipes expanded further, blending with local flavors and leading to the creation of numerous variations worldwide.
