We thank our friend Arthur Pais for this recipe. Arthur, born and raised in Madras, India, knows his region and certainly knows his food. Madras is known for its fiery food and its excellent cuisine, and Arthur says that every home has at least two varieties of chile preserves in the pantry at all times. "Over many front doors hangs a string of green chiles to ward off the evil eye," he wrote in Chile Pepper magazine.

This chutney is an excellent accompaniment to curries.
