Amla's tartness makes it an excellent chutney base, needing only herbs and gentle seasoning. Make a small batch so the fresh green colour and flavour stay at their best.

04
Taste, adjust seasoning and refrigerate promptly.
Kitchen notes
Use a clean dry spoon and finish within two days.
Reduce chilli rather than adding sugar if you want a gentler flavour.
