How much red chutney should I eat per serving?

A typical serving size of red chutney is 1 to 2 tablespoons, which contains approximately 15-40 calories depending on the recipe. It can be used as a condiment or dip, but portions should be monitored due to its strong flavor and potentially high oil or salt content.
