Founding Story
Perfecting this signature chutney for over a decade, we’re Cashu and Tan, the spirited mother-daughter duo behind Elephant Green Chili Chutney™.
Our chutney chronicles kicked off when Cashu (a former recipe columnist, culinary enthusiast and talented home chef) was persuaded by Tan (an economics-driven foodie on a mission to share her mom’s chutney mojo) to bring their cherished green chutney to every table.
Simple ingredients with just the right notes, this delectably addictive chutney is inspired by Cashu’s culinary adventures in New York City, her Indian roots, and her family and friends’ obsession with this secret blend.
Its versatility is boundless, effortlessly enhancing or adapting to almost any culinary creation, making it a kitchen essential.
At Elephant Green Chili Chutney™, our mission is clear yet profoundly heartfelt: to share our passion for vibrant flavors and wholesome food, making every cook’s journey, across cultures, just a little easier and a lot more zesty.
We believe food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to express love, celebrate life, and connect with one another.
We are thrilled for you to join us as we stir up our chutney tales!
Stay Zesty, Sweet, and Spicy!

Elephant Green Chili Chutney conquers demanding palates
"In an era where consumers seek authenticity and distinct sensory experiences, Elephant Green Chili Chutney manages to position itself as more than just a condiment. It offers a gateway to intense and memorable flavors, with a clear and consistent identity.
In a market saturated with traditional sauces and condiments, few products truly stand out. However, Elephant Green Chili Chutney is emerging as a vibrant offering that is redefining the role of chutney in contemporary kitchens.
This brand, founded by the mother-daughter duo Cashmira Sethna and Tanzie Turel, transforms a family recipe into a gourmet phenomenon with its own identity.
Far from being a secondary accompaniment, this green chili chutney (a type of sweet and sour sauce or accompaniment) inspired by Indian tradition brings character, freshness and depth to a wide variety of dishes.
The formula originates from a recipe created in 1986 by Cashmira, which today forms the heart of a brand that honors culinary heritage and adapts it to modern tastes. The story not only adds emotional value but also reinforces the product's authenticity.
In just 12 months, Elephant Green Chili Chutney has achieved remarkable expansion.
The brand is already in more than 36 specialty stores in the northeastern United States, made a prominent appearance at Williams Sonoma Columbus Circle, and was named a finalist in the 2026 sofi awards in the best condiments category.
This recognition is especially relevant, since the jury blindly evaluated more than 1,200 products, which underlines the objective quality of the proposal.
The product is made in Connecticut in small batches, a detail that reinforces its artisanal character. The recipe uses only six clean ingredients, including secret-signature green chilies, coconut, and cilantro.
The result is a brilliant balance between fresh, citrusy, slightly sweet notes and an elegant spiciness that doesn't overwhelm, but rather awakens the palate.
Versatility becomes one of its greatest attributes. This chutney enhances fish and seafood with a vibrant contrast, adds complexity to cheese boards, transforms ordinary sandwiches into memorable offerings, and adds depth to eggs, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.
It works both as a straight dressing and as a base for marinades or mixed with yogurt to create quick sauces.
From a nutritional and responsible consumption standpoint, Elephant Green Chili Chutney meets current market demands. It is vegan, gluten-free, and Star-K Kosher certified.
Furthermore, it maintains a clean label, free of unnecessary chemicals and fillers. Its shelf stability facilitates storage, and its price, under $15, positions it as an affordable option within the gourmet segment .
The brand also understands the power of digital commerce. It is currently available nationwide through Amazon, expanding its reach beyond traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
This strategy allows consumers interested in global flavors to easily integrate it into their culinary repertoire.
However, Elephant's true differentiator lies not only in its flavor or its certifications, but in its narrative.
Cashmira represents a second professional stage in her career, reviving a family recipe and proudly and resolutely bringing it to market. Together with her daughter Tanzie, she is building a women-owned business that combines tradition, innovation, and entrepreneurial vision.
In an era where consumers seek authenticity and distinct sensory experiences, Elephant Green Chili Chutney manages to position itself as more than just a condiment. It offers a gateway to intense and memorable flavors, with a clear and consistent identity.

Although chutney may seem discreet on the table, in this case it becomes the unexpected protagonist that transforms each dish into a bold and sophisticated experience."

Sauce or Condiment? Two Savory Selections
"By Chef David
Sauces are an easy way to transform simple dishes into rich culinary experiences. They add a flavor boost, which can elevate meals and change their taste profile without additional preparation. Best of all, they can be placed on the table, allowing diners to add to taste. Many classic American sauces are condiments. The most common ones are ketchup, followed by mustard, BBQ sauce, and mayonnaise. The main difference between sauces and condiments is how they are used. Sauces are typically used for cooking, while condiments are put on the table.
We recently discovered two products, Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce and Elephant Green Chili Chutney, both certified kosher pareve by the Star K. Each provides a unique flavor-forward boost, a fun way to transform classic dishes into something new.Banana Pepper Sauce
Miller’s began in 2002, making a spicy and sweet creation from vine-ripened peppers. Now they offer three varieties of banana pepper sauce – mild, hot, and habanero. All have an alluring sweetness, which we enjoyed. The spicier offerings offer a delayed flavor punch, a sweet heat that gives Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce a unique flavor. Our favorite was their habanero sauce, which is the hottest. Spice lovers can feel the burn, but we found the habanero flavor delicious. For non-spice-lovers, the taste profile of mild is delightful.
Pepper fact: Banana peppers begin as a light green. As they mature, they turn from yellow to orange to red.
Miller’s uses simple recognizable ingredients: distilled vinegar, raw sugar, fresh peppers, water, mustard seed, cornstarch, salt, turmeric, paprika, and Vitamin C (to preserve freshness). Each 1-teaspoon serving contains 5 calories.
Unlike most sauces, Miller’s contains only 1 gram of added sugar, making it a healthier selection when compared to traditional condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauces. What we liked was its consistency with subtle pepper undertones. This sauce has body and flavor, with an unmistakable sweetness, even in the spicier variations.
We suggest using Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce any time you would use ketchup or BBQ sauce. It is perfect for Super Bowl parties or BBQs. We tried it on hamburgers, steaks, fish, and even cheese sandwiches. Miller’s website suggests combining their spicy pepper sauce with cream cheese as a party dip. We found it perfect as a flavor addition in deviled eggs or tuna salad.
Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce can be purchased online and in select stores. Elephant Green Chili Chutney
Chutney is a classic sauce of India, made with vinegar, spices, and sugar. Best described as zesty, sweet, and spicy, Elephant Green Chili Chutney provides a unique taste profile, a fusion of citrus and spice. We enjoyed the unusual taste profile that is not traditionally found in kosher cuisine.
It is fragrant, delivering complex layers of sweet and heat, tangy, citrusy, with the spice of chilies coming through gradually. They use simple, recognizable ingredients: vinegar, cilantro, green chili, coconut, salt, and sugar.
One tablespoon contains 25 calories, 3 grams of sugar, and 210 mg of sodium, making it a relatively healthy condiment. Elephant Green Chili Chutney is a versatile sauce that can be dipped, drizzled, or used for simmering or sautéing. Tanzie suggests that chutney pairs well with cheese and recommends combining chutney with whipped cream cheese as a spread for a bagel. Consider adding chutney as a side to a vegetable and cheese platter.
Our testers felt that it worked well as a dip for chips and fries, and complements heavy/ fatty foods as an alternative to horseradish. You can add a dollop on top of your brisket or grilled salmon. We have tried drizzling it on fish, spreading it on chicken, and even on hard-boiled eggs. Or use it as a sauce to cook meat or tofu.
Elephant Green Chili Chutney can be purchased online
Sauce or Condiment?
We like the way sauces allow each diner to select their own flavor profile, adding more, less, or omitting the spice entirely. We were excited to discover Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce and Elephant Green Chili Chutney, both bridge the space between condiment and sauce, and offer a healthier way to punch up the flavor profile without adding too much sugar and sodium.
Enjoy the combination of sweet and heat.
Happy eating."

We Tested Dozens of Kitchen Tools in January — We Can’t Stop Using These 13 From OXO, Hydro Flask, and More
"With the merry season now a month passed, our writers and editors are still busy unwrapping their holiday gifts and purchases to give them a spin in the kitchen. Some are detoxifying their kitchens with plastic-free gear, including the Earlywood tasting spoon for cooking and some Branch Basics dishwasher detergent for cleaning. Others are stocking their pantries with new staples, such as ”fancier” taco seasoning and high-smoke-point cooking oil. We’ve also tested new cookware, knives, insulated tumblers, and more that may end up topping our tested reviews in the future. Read on for all our favorite tested kitchen tools this month. “I attended the Specialty Food Association's Winter FancyFaire this month to try the latest in snacks, sauces, and other packaged foods, and this sweet-and-spicy condiment was one of the best things I tasted. Put it on your cheese board to pair with any kind of crumbly goat cheese (like, say, Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog, my very favorite cheese in the world).” — Jason Horn, senior writer"

My new favorite thing in a bottle and I need some more
I attended the Specialty Food Association's Winter FancyFaire this month to try the latest in snacks, sauces, and other packaged foods, and this sweet-and-spicy condiment was one of the best things I tasted. Put it on your cheese board to pair with any kind of crumbly goat cheese (like, say, Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog, my very favorite cheese in the world).
Your chutney is absolutely delicious
This is amazing, I love it.
My pick from the show is Elephant Green Chili Chutney. One of the best flavor explosions I had in my mouth while at the Winter Fancy Faire was under the Good Food Mercantile tent. I tasted this amazing green chutney from a mother-daughter team that was super vibrant and fresh. I imagined putting it on everything..... eggs, bagel with cream cheese, turkey sandwich, drizzled on avocado toast, with tortilla chips. It’s the perfect condiment to add pizzazz to everything.
