What is Guava Chutney?

Slightly sweet, little tangy boosting with such a distinct flavor i.e. guava, is amrood ki chutney. I love to make guava chutney during guava season because I believe one may or may not like or eat guava but this chutney is one thing to be relished by one and all. It is a very interesting way of enjoying guava (if you relish it) or including it in your diet (in case you don’t relish it.) Guava chutney can be served with parathas or pooris but my favorite way of relishing it is by spreading it on a crispy toast just like jam. Do try it, you will love it.

Let’s talk about the ingredients for Guava Chutney

Ripened guavas work best for amrood ki chutney. If the guavas are not ripened just leave on the kitchen counter or fruit basket for a day or two. Generally, I have seen fresh coriander being added to make guava chutney. However, I thought that coriander has a very strong flavor and the flavor of guava might be suppressed. To avoid that I have used fresh mint leaves and that too just a handful. Other ingredients include black salt, black peppercorns, lemon juice etc. Do not skip any of these, as ingredient brings out the flavor of guava.
