Raspberry thokku/ Chutney

I was clearing my freezer and found a packet of frozen raspberry from Trader Joe's. As I was wondering what I could make of these frozen raspberries my husband suggested thokku. I got all excited about the idea and got down to preparing it.I was thinking that it would turn out ok because of the tartness in the berries. It was so delicious to me. I could taste the salt, sugar, spice from the chillis and tartness and this was a wonderful combo to have with anything. A pregnant woman would feast on this one for sure. I found this very interesting that this berry can take in a lot of spice and still be not as spicy.My entry to AMFM : Raspberry hosted by Ammalu's Kitchen for the month of May.
