Background
This papaya and raisins chutney has a delicate flavour that complements many South-East Asian and Indian curries. If you want it more spicy add more chilli to the recipe. This chutney is not too sweet either, so you might need to add more sugar to it if you have a sweet tooth or if the papaya is not ripe enough.
