About Chutney Masala
OUR FOOD
“Chutney”, an anglicized form of the Hindi word chatni, is an important condiment or relish used to complement a dish or an entire meal. Chutney is made by combining a variety of ingredients, ranging from fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, to achieve different textures, flavors, and taste. We make ours fresh in-house with family recipes from all over the Indian subcontinent. “Masala” means a blend of fresh herbs and spices combined with aromatics to create a unique base for each dish. We use spices not to make the dishes chili hot, but to bring out the complex flavors of traditional Indian food. As Indian cooking requires careful attention to detail, we grind our own spices from scratch and make our own blends.
The popularity of grilled or baked food has increased tremendously as people search for healthier options in dining. In our kitchen, the Tandoori clay oven provides a healthier option with an Indian twist. We marinate our vegetables and meat and cook them in the Tandoor that reaches temperatures of up to 700F. What comes out is some of the most delicious and healthy baked food. Last but not the least, we truly believe good food begins with the best ingredients. We procure fresh, wholesome ingredients with no artificial flavorings or additives. Our meats are all natural and free range, without antibiotics and hormones, wild and not farm-raised seafood, fresh locally available produce.
