Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?
A: Yes, you can use canned pineapple, but make sure to drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Fresh pineapple is recommended for the best flavor and texture, but canned can work as a convenient substitute.
Q: What can I use instead of brown sugar?
A: You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar, white sugar mixed with a teaspoon of molasses, or even honey. Keep in mind that these substitutions may slightly alter the flavor of the chutney.
Q: Can I make the chutney ahead of time?
A: Yes, the chutney can be made up to 5 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature or gently reheat before serving for the best taste.
Q: What if my flatbread dough is too sticky?
A: If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly dust your hands and work surface with additional flour. Add flour a little at a time while kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Q: Can I freeze the flatbread or chutney?
A: The flatbread can be frozen after cooking. Let it cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. To reheat, warm in a skillet or oven. The chutney can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
Q: How can I add more heat or spice to the chutney?
A: To add more heat, stir in a pinch of red chili flakes or a finely chopped fresh chili while cooking the chutney. You can adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
Q: What are some serving suggestions for this dish?
A: The chutney and flatbread pair well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a cheese platter. You can also use the chutney as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal for a sweet and tangy twist.
