Notes

I prefer adding slightly fried or roasted red chilies to my chutney. It adds depth to the taste and a little roasting balances the spiciness of the chilies.
Instead of grating the garlic, you can crush them as well.
Do not add too much water to boil the bilimbi fruit.
I always apply a little layer of oil on the chutney before keeping it in the fridge. It helps preserve the taste.
This recipe is very good to taste especially when one has just recovered from a cold or cough.
