I discovered this chutney recipe at my elder son’s karate tournament. A parent had packed extra for the group, and we shared a quick meal on the stadium stairs. I loved how filling it was. However, I fell in love with the chutney. She noticed and shared the ingredients with pride.
I made it that weekend. My husband said it was a “power-packed punch,” and the boys felt like they were back in the dojo. Now, it is our sporty-day special. That afternoon reminded me that parents do not just cheer from the sidelines; they also carry energy in tiffin boxes, prepared with encouragement and care.
