Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the artichokes, curry powder, salt and pepper and stir. Add the raisins and chutney. Cook, stirring, about one minute.
- Step 3
Add the milk and cream and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until artichokes are tender but still slightly crisp. Serve.

Whole family loved this! I left out raisins, used coconut milk instead of the milk cream, and added a bit of lemon juice at the end.
I found this to be a lovely savory dish. I elected to use 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2 rather than the milk/heavy cream called for in the recipe and found it turned out fine. Lovely flavors. Will make it again.
