Chili added to foods takes a while to sink in and when you add heat, let it sit for 15 minutes or so and check again before you add more.

Serve the chutney warm or at room temperature, but if you're not serving it right away, refrigerate it. It can be used on a sandwich, with chicken or pork, or a topping for ice cream & yogurt. Enjoy!
