Vaidya Culinary Note (regional Indian chutney tradition)
Peanut Sesame Chutney is a concentrated accompaniment, so a small spoonful is sufficient. Vata: pair with a moist warm meal and moderate sourness. Pitta: reduce chilies and emphasize coriander or coconut. Kapha: keep the chutney sharp, unsweetened, and portions small.
