Amsul or Kokum, the English name being Mangosteen is an herb/spice normally cultivated in the coastal regions of India. It is used predominantly in costal cuisine, especially in the Konkan region of Maharashtra to give a sour flavor to certain dishes. The Amsulachi Chutney or Kokum Chutney is special Chutney from Konkan, which is a great add on to any meal.
The Amsulachi Chutney recipe given by me here is simple and easy to prepare once you have all the ingredients in place.
