Grilling Glazes

1) Masala Maza's chutneys make great grilling glazes!
2) For a more tangy glaze, which goes well with sea foods, use our Mango Key Lime Chutney
3) The Mango Jalapeno Chutney is great for glazing red meats
4) Always use the chutneys for glazing near the end of the grilling process
5) Grill each side of the meat with the chutney glaze for just a minute or two
6) The glaze will turn a brownish color, which means it's caramelizing
7) When the glaze caramelizes, it's time to pull it off to prevent burning of the glaze
8) Adding things like 2 tsp. of dark rum to the Mango Jalapeno Chutney before glazing gives a nice kick
9) Or mix in some fresh herbs finely chopped to either of the chutneys
10) If grilling pork chops or lamb chops, mix in some finely chopped fresh mint
11) Serve left over glaze on the side
12) And don't forget to garnish with fresh herbs
