Notes
Chutney is sauce usual made with yogurt, cilantro, mint, and some kind of chili pepper. I make it with mayonnaise so it’s keto friendly. You can also use sour cream. I don’t feel the need for adding salt if I use mayonnaise but taste and adjust salt to taste. This sauce has 6 servings. Calories: 135 Net Carbs: 0g
