This chutney is not your typical sweet-sour American affair, which I frequently find entirely too acidic and overly sweet, and just generally lacking. This type of chutney offers a full on experience, incorporating all the building blocks of flavor: sweet, spicy, sour, bitter, umami.

Tadka refers to the method of frying a plethora of whole spices in oil, a common base to many Indian sauces and curries. This method, when used as a base for whatever sauce or curry is being prepared, allows for the aromas and flavors of the spices to fully infuse with the other ingredients, leading to a more complex, layered effect on the palate.

Add this to plain yoghurt and you have an instant dipping sauce. In soup, your secret flavor-boosting weapon. Use it as a sub for curry sauce. Eat it by the spoonful.
