This South African Recipe Serves 1-2

This Raw Chutney Sambals recipe is very well known in South Africa, mostly throughout the Indian society. It is a spicy & simple plate of basic vegetables that can go with an assortment of dishes from curries to barbecues.

Growing up, my gran used to always prepare this sambals & referred to it as Putt Chutney – I figured it’s probably a translation from her South Indian background. She enjoyed the sambals as is & occasionally ate it with a slice of bread. I loved eating this especially on those hot summer days.

This Raw Chutney Sambals is meant to be spicy, but can be altered with the amount of chillies used.
