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.

Elephant Green Chili Chutney: Natural & Delicious!
"Are you seeking a new, versatile and delicious condiment? If so, I've a recommendation for you.
I recently received a media sample of the Elephant Green Chili Chutney, a new product created by Cashmira Sethna and her daughter, Tanzie Turel, based on Cashmira's recipe from 1986. Cashmira, who was born in Mumbai, spent two decades in Dubai, and later was a recipe columnist for the Indian Express in New York. In 2024, she was a contestant on The Favorite Chef competition, placing second in her group. Tanzie has worked in a national commercial real estate lending, investment, and advisory firm. Tanzie encouraged her mother to make her chutney available to the public, and they finally worked together to make that a reality.
As their website states, "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."
Their green chili chutney is currently available from Amazon, a 9-ounce jar selling for about $15. It's produced from only 6 ingredients, including: vinegar, cilantro, sugar, dried coconut, green chili, and salt. No preservatives or fillers are used. That all makes the chutney even more appealing. The chutney is also vegan, gluten free, dairy free, Kosher, and great for keto. A Serving Size is 1 tablespoon, which has 25 calories, and a jar contains 16 servings.
It's promoted as extremely versatile, limited only by your imagination. It can be used to "Drizzle and Dazzle, Dip and Devour, Spread and Savor, or Simmer and Sizzle." After my own experiences with this chutney, trying it with a variety of foods, I would wholeheartedly agree to its versatility.
The green condiment has visible pieces of coconut, and it's easy to spread on food, or scoop out some for a dipping sauce. It has a pleasant aroma, citrus notes and a touch of coconut. Once opened, I advise keeping it in the refrigerator, as it doesn't contain any preservatives. I first slathered some of the chutney atop boneless pork chops (from Tendercrop Farms), before placing them in the oven. I was impressed with the flavor of the chutney, which worked quite well with the moist and tender pork. Initially, there was some sweetness, with prominent citrus notes accompanied by nuttiness of the coconut, and the tiny bits of coconut also added a touch of a crunchy texture. On the finish though, the heat of the green chilis arose, replacing the citrus, although it wasn't overly spicy. An interesting and tasty journey across the palate, from sweet to heat. This initial experience with the chutney was delicious, and I was eager to try it with other foods.
I've since used it several additional times, such as a dip for seafood, from cod to salmon, and it worked very well with the taste of the different fish. It also paired well with beef, and it was tasty while slathered on a warm piece of naan bread. I suspect it would work well with many different foods, and you're limited only by your imagination. I've nearly finished the entire jar, and will order more from Amazon in the near future.
The Elephant Green Chili Chutney earns my Hearty Recommendation!"

Elephant Green Chili Chutney
"Recently, I’ve been into trying recipes from Southeast Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. So when I received an invitation to try a sample of Elephant Green Chili Chutney™, I gratefully accepted.
The chutney was developed by mother-daughter business partners, Cashmira Sethna (Cashu) and Tanzie Turel (Tan), who spent more than a decade perfecting their recipe. I’m always happy to champion a woman-run business! Cashu is a former recipe columnist for the Indian Express in New York, a culinary enthusiast, and ho me chef. She was born in Mumbai and was a contestant in The Favorite Chef competition, where she placed second in her group in support of the James Beard Foundation. Her daughter, Tan, is an economics-driven foodie.
The two of them say, “We believe food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to express love, celebrate life, and connect with one another.” The chutney was a finalist in the 2026 Soft Awards in the best condiments category. The jury blindly sampled 1,200 products during the contest. Made in Connecticut, the chutney is now available in 36 specialty stores in the northeastern U.S., including Williams Sonoma in Columbus Circle, NYC.
Naturally vegan, Kosher, and gluten-free, the chutney contains just six ingredients: green chili, dried coconut, cilantro, vinegar, Kosher salt, and sugar. What did I think of the sweet and sour sauce? It’s very tasty, and definitely has a kick! I tried it with frozen samosas for a fast and easy meal, but it would taste great with salmon, chicken, steak, eggs. crackers, and sharp cheddar."

Culinary Thrill Seeking – Leave what you can this Lenten season
"I haven’t met the neighbor down the road, but I’ve been enjoying the thoughtfulness of the little library in this yard. A recent addition is an old newsstand painted red that is now a donation box. “Take what you need, leave what you can,” it reads in white letters. I noticed it before Thanksgiving and enjoy rounding the bend to see if there’s been any action. Sometimes it looks full of canned goods. Later it’s bags of beans and rice. It’s a joy to leave items there and say a little prayer for whomever will finally open it and get some nourishment. Lent is a season of almsgiving. Leave something positive wherever you go!
Chutney Mojo –Cashu and Tan are a mother and daughter who ask fans to Stay Zesty, Sweet, and Spicy! It’s easy with a jar of Elephant Green Chili Chutney. It’s hot on my radar, but not in the spicy way. It actually seems “cooling” to my palate. I love it. They do it with green chili, dried coconut, cilantro, vinegar, sugar and kosher salt. I’m lifting this sentence from their PR because I couldn’t write it better: “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.” I think a fine Lenten meal could simply be this sauce over a bowl of rice. The women sum it up like this: “We believe food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to express love, celebrate life, and connect with one another.”"

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."
Testimonials
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.
