Is it OK to freeze onion chutney?

Yes, it's OK to freeze onion chutney; when frozen, the texture and taste of it remain good.

Why is my onion chutney bitter?

Your onion chutney might be bitter if you leave your diced onions exposed to the air before cooking them. That's because sulfur compounds are formed when chopped onions are exposed to the air for as little as 30 minutes, which causes a bitter taste.
