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.

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!

We got a chance to check out Elephant Green Chili Chutney

#ad We got a chance to check out Elephant Green Chili Chutney (here: https://amzn.to/4bIv6X1) and you guys, I think Pete has found his new favorite condiment. Chutney, if you've never heard of it or if you don't watch as many cooking shows as we do, is an Indian condiment made of vegetables or fruits, vinegar, sugar, and herbs. This one has six clean ingredients: vinegar, sugar, dried coconut, cilantro, green chili, and kosher salt. It has so much flavor, so much pop, and so much sinus clearing power (okay, that last part is unintentional, but my nose wasn't expecting that kick). We originally tried it on naan because, well, that made the most sense. Pete then stirred a huge dollop into dinner. I had made a creamy chicken and chickpea pasta with spinach and I knew this chutney would give it the kick it was missing. It went into that dinner perfectly. So, even if you don't cook Indian food on a regular basis, you should still grab this to add into your meals that need a little kick. It would also be really good to mix into Greek yogurt or sour cream for a dip with crackers. Or mix some into mayo and use it to coat chicken before adding breadcrumbs and frying cutlets. Or use it on a chicken wrap to give it more flavor. Honestly, you're just limited by your imagination -- and your spice tolerance.

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. More information here. 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.

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. Elephant Green Chili Chutney can be purchased online 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.

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.

THE CHEESE PROFESSOR

A Guide to Cheese & Chutney Pairings

Why Chutney & Cheese? Western-style chutneys—created by Anglo-Indians during the British rule in India—use English fruits, dried fruits, and present a striking blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. While Indian chutneys were not originally intended to pair with cheese, both styles are now rising in popularity as perfect companions for cheeseboards. The Cheese Professor Tanzie Turel, co-founder of Elephant Green Chili Chutney, explains: “Chutney naturally offers heat, bold flavors and a story,” she says. “And we’re finding that cheese is the perfect canvas for it.” The Cheese Professor Alison McQuade of McQuade’s Celtic Chutney shares how her business started by chance: after gifting chutney at Christmas, a hairdresser passed a jar to a client—Peg Smith from Cowgirl Creamery—who loved it and began selling it in her store. Today, McQuade’s seasonal flavors—fig n’ ginger, whisky peach, apple red chili, spicy red onion, Indian spiced apple, plum n’ black pepper—are celebrated on grilled cheese sandwiches and charcuterie boards across the Bay Area.
