Steps:

1. To make the chutney, mix all the chutney ingredients (up to the scallops) in a blender and set aside. Season the scallops with a little salt and pepper to taste. Beat the eggs and milk together. Put the Panko in another bowl. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Dip the scallops in the egg mixture first and then in the panko. Put scallops in hot pan and saute until they are golden brown and they are just barely cooked through. Serve them with the chutney.
