I an a die-hard garden lover/grower but here I cannot grow my own veggies or herbs as I don’t have a balcony in my apartment. I envy you on this

needless to say both chutney’s love incredibly fresh and soothing my senses!

Cursed with plant-killing fingers myself, I am proud I can keep mint going. Chives is an easy one too for us plant-killers. My big success this summer was salad leaves (including hot fiery mustard). The trick is to buy a plant already established.

Very nice!
This year was my first attempt at gardening. Gosh it’s a lot of work to get a good tomato!

My friend planted some mint in her backyard a few years ago. It is now a bush!! It’s just so crazy to walk in there and see a mint bush. The good thing is fresh mint is a short walk away in the summers for me. Lovely condiments. Never heard of raisins in a tomato chutney before.

I’ve finally managed to keep a basil plant going for a month, I might try mint now too! Looks like a tasty chutney.

I am totally with you on the seasonal eating thing. I do try to do it as much as I can. I have a nice basil plant on my veranda – the only thing that grew in this Florida heat! Next year I am getting buckets and we are planting tomatoes!!

I love pudina chutney . In summer I blend chopped raw mango , one green chilli and a bunch of mint leaves with salt to make pudina chutney to eat as sandwich spread or simply with rotis .or add a teaspoon to a tub of whipped yogurt . Simply yummy!
