I had a dear guest today. My granddaughter came over and we cooked together. She loves falafel and also all kinds of vegetable patties, but doesn’t care for tahini or yogurt sauces. Today we made very tasty eggplant and chickpea patties and then I ask her what kind of sauce would you like to have with them? And she said: “ Could we make some kind of chutney?” I have never cooked chutney of any kind before, but I know it is an Indian sweet and savory condiment and in my fridge, pantry and on my spice shelf are always plenty of things which I can use to substitute Indian spice mixes. I had fresh plum tomatoes and a 20oz can of pineapple slices, so we decided that a combination of some acid, sugar and spices will be just right to create our own chutney. <br /> <br /> The spice, heat and the acid and sugar content is to our taste. Feel free to adjust to your taste and style. <br /> <br />I am giving you the recipe for the delicious Eggplant-Chickpea patties , but this chutney will also compliment many other dishes.
