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!

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.

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"

Grocery Update #132: The Bi-Rite* Winter FancyFaire Trade Show Recap!
"The Checkout Grocery Update is stoked to present this collaboration with our friends from Bi-Rite, San Francisco’s leading neighborhood specialty foods retailer and creamery. We had a fun time eating, walking and learning at the Winter FancyFaire in beautiful, sunny San Diego.
If you visit the Bay Area, please go to any of Bi-Rite’s three store locations or their amazing creamery and stock up on the best grub that California has to offer. Sam Mogannam, Owner. 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."

Founder Spotlight: Cashmira S (Elephant Green Chili Chutney)
"Startup Stage?
Bootstrapped, actively growing, and scaling.
What led you to where you are today?
We were led here by a passion for clean, bold flavor and a belief that chutney deserves a bigger place in the American pantry. What started as a simple idea evolved through countless tests, conversations, and community support. Every step to retail shelves — reinforced our mission and shaped the brand we’re building today.
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
We wish we knew how emotional and personal the entrepreneurial journey truly is — it’s an evolution that demands resilience, stamina, and constant adaptation. We also wish we had understood earlier that growth is rarely linear; it happens through pivots, experiments, and continuous learning.
What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far?
The most difficult decision we’ve had to make so far has been prioritizing how and where to allocate our limited funds. Every choice—whether it’s production, marketing, or growth opportunities—comes with trade-offs, and learning to invest wisely while staying true to our mission has been both challenging and essential.
What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with?
We can support the VEGPRENEUR community by sharing insights and connections from the CPG world to help strengthen our collective growth. I’m excited to collaborate, network, and create synergistic opportunities that elevate all plant-forward founders.
How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you?
The VEGPRENEUR community can help me by offering thought partnership, shared learnings, and supportive connections as we scale our CPG brand. I value the insights, collaboration, and visibility that come from being part of a mission-aligned network.
Fun fact about you:
Fun fact about me: I can turn any ingredient in my kitchen into a chutney experiment — sometimes at 2 AM.
Anything else you would like to share?
We’re proud to share that we are a top-three sofi™ Awards Finalist in Condiments for 2026. We’re launching on Amazon for the holiday season, and within just 12 months of debuting, our chutney is now in over 30 stores across the Northeast. Come sample us at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Diego in January 2026!"

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.
