A good dollop of chutney is always an essential companion to cheeses and meats, hot or cold. A piquant tang of sweet and sour from\u00a0a Date & Tamarind Chutney made by\u00a0Hibiscus Lily<\/strong> will enliven many foods as well as rev up the taste buds.<\/p>\n

Kanwal Pattar, owner of Hibiscus Lily has created an array of chutneys to appeal to many palates and complement a wide variety of foods.
She makes sure that traditional methods are used for all her recipes, some of which have been passed down through the generations and no additives or artificial preservatives can be found in any of the jars, they are also gluten free.<\/p>\n

\nHibiscus Lily may be based in Hertfordshire but the products bring the authentic essence of India to you.

\n<\/strong>Tamarind is a natural preservative due to its high acid content giving it the ability to inhibit bacterial growth.

Just cut some chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl with a good dollop or two of the Hot and Spicy Date & Tamarind Chutney, give it a good stir to coat all the chicken and leave to marinate for an hour or two. Thread on to skewers, drizzle with oil and place under a hot grill until cooked through and caramelised (slightly blackened).
\nThe chicken is delicious and sticky with irresistible crunchy bits.
