Kiwi and Cantaloupe Chutney with Indian Flavors

When I made the Ridgegourd Peel-Barley-Moong Dosa , we had the Kiwi-Cantaloupe Chutney as a side/dip for the dosas.It tasted very delicious and we enjoyed this in combination with the dosa.This was the first time I made this chutney and sure would make it again.

1) I would make this chutney again except that next time I will not use very ripe cantaloupe.Instead I would use the firm and just ready to eat cantaloupe for this chutney.(If very ripe it gives too much sweetness to the dish).
