Chutney's has been tempting Washingtonians with the richly spiced scents of Indian Moghul cuisine since the early 1990s. In the kitchen, chefs roast marinated chicken and lamb in a tandoor clay oven, which also bakes unleavened wheat roti bread and leavened naan bread stuffed with nuts, cherries, and housemade cheese. They also honor South Indian flavors by cooking halibut filets and cauliflower with spices like curry leaves, mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin seeds, and dried red chilies. The resulting complex and flavorful cuisine has fed participants at corporate events for such companies as Microsoft and Boeing, as well as private gatherings that celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays or a baby's first samosa.
