This version of cranberry chutney is one of our favorites. Once you have your ingredients gathered – it takes less than 5 minutes to blend up – than you just have to be patient and wait for fermentation to happen. It also keeps quite well refrigerated after it has been fermented.
We have enjoyed this with dosa, fish, chicken, and even stirred into plain yogurt.
