This is the fusion at it's very best ! Thecha chutney is a something I make often and have in the fridge almost at all times. It's rich in Omega C, high fiber, antioxidants, helps control diabetes, protects heart health and helps boost metabolism.

Now for a unique cheese platter or board, go ahead and try and swirl the thecha into cream cheese and await all the complements!
