'humble place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'a chutney ingredient's' is the wordplay.
'ingredient's' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'ingredient of' mean this).
'HUT' is hidden in the letters of 'chutney'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hut that I've seen before include "Simple building" , "Simple house or shelter" , "Small, simple shelter" , "Small structure as for watchman" , "Simple abode" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
