Notes
How Do I Store Homemade Chutneys?
Planning to make the chutneys in a batch and store for later? Remember to use an airtight container before you refrigerate them to preserve their freshness. The coriander and coconut chutney can stay good for up to 5 days. Try to consume this chutney as soon as you can, since it can lose its fresh, green color as the days pass. The peanut chutney can stay good for a week, and the garlic chutney can stay fresh for the longest time- up to 15 days, sometimes more. Just remember to add a bit of warm water into the chutney and then reheat it once you get it out from the freezer. This will help maintain the consistency of the chutneys.
