Notes

  • For a spicy chutney, add more green chillies.
  • You can also add 1 to 2 small to medium-sized garlic cloves in the chutney.
  • To get a slightly sour taste, add a small piece of tamarind. 
  • For a thicker chutney add less water while blending.
  • Omit adding roasted chana dal if you do not have them. Add less water when grinding, if you do not add the roasted chana dal.
