Chutney

Chutney originated in India where it was served alongside curries. Now it is known worldwide and can be made out of any fruits and vegetables.

It’s the preserving in sugar and vinegar with spices that makes chutney a chutney!

Banana may seem an unusual choice for chutney, but I can assure you that this curried banana chutney recipe works amazingly well.

I love making chutney, from my spiced cherry chutney to my courgette/zucchini chutney recipe and much more. Check out my Chutney and Relish section for lots of great recipes.

ingredients; bananas, sugar, vinegar, spices, lemon and onion

Ingredients

There are only a few ingredients in this Indian banana chutney recipe.

Bananas. Make sure the bananas are ripe as this is when they are sweet and full of flavour. You can use well-ripened bananas for this banana chutney, ie spotty bananas if that’s what you have.

Sugar and vinegar are what makes a chutney sweet and sour and also gives it the shelf life that means it lasts a good long while in the larder.

The spices – I’ve used curry powder (here’s how to make your own curry spice powder!) and ground ginger.

The other ingredients for this curried banana chutney recipe are salt and lemon.

The complete list of ingredients and full instructions for making this recipe can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Method

This simple banana chutney is a two-step recipe. Once you have chopped up the bananas and onions there are two steps to the cooking process for making the chutney and they are super easy.

Simply saute the bananas and onion along with the lemon juice and vinegar for about 30 minutes.

Then you are going to add the curry powder and ginger plus the sugar to your banana chutney and let it cook for a further 10 – 20 minutes.

That’s it folks – curried banana chutney!
