Beginner

This Top Chow Spicy Sausage Chutney is a bold, fragrant crowd-pleaser from Top Chow 2024 winners Fee & Kavish Sahadeo. Fry's Spicy Sausages are simmered in a rich tomato sauce built on a base of whole spices — cumin seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and star anise — then finished with Kashmiri chilli powder and fresh coriander. The result is a thick, deeply flavoured chutney that's perfect with turmeric and pea rice, chapatti, atchar and crunchy poppadoms.
