Equipments used:
Notes
- Tamarind: If using tamarind, soak in 1/4 cup hot water for 10 minutes. Run it through a sieve to filter out the juice.
- If using tamarind, soak in 1/4 cup hot water for 10 minutes. Run it through a sieve to filter out the juice.
- Water: Use water sparingly, as you don't want the chutney to be watery.
- Green Chili Pepper: I typically use Thai, Birdeye or Serrano Chili Pepper in my recipes. Don't forget to adjust to your taste.
- Variations:
- Storing: Store in refrigerator up to 4 days in an air tight container. You can also store in small containers or ice cube trays in the freezer. Defrost one at a time in the refrigerator and enjoy.
- Yogurt - In restaurants, mostly you always see the yogurt version of this chutney. It reduces the spiciness and adds a refreshing touch to the chutney. I would suggest to add 1/3 cup yogurt to this recipe.
- Grated Coconut or Roasted Peanuts- This adds a thick texture to the chutney. If you want to use the chutney to make sandwiches, coconut is a great addition. Add 1/3 cup of either to this recipe.
- Onion - In North India, it is common to add a little onion to the chutney. In this quantity, I would add 1/4 cup of chopped onion.
