This fresh green chutney is adapted from a recipe in British-Indian Chef Romy Gill’s cookbook, Zaika: Vegan Recipes from India. It is common in India to add raw mango for sweetness, but as its availability and quality is inconsistent in the UK, Gill likes to swap it out for green apple in this everyday condiment.
