Notes

  • Do not cook for more time after grinding as the taste may change.
  • First cool down the mixture for few mins then after few mins add little water and grind to a paste.
  • Adding gingelly oil gives nice flavour to the chutney.
    Do not compromise on the oil measure otherwise the chutney will have raw taste.
  • Gingelly oil not only gives a flavour but also balances the spice level.
    In addition to mustard seeds, you can add curry leaves too while tempering.
  • The color purely depends on the chilli variety you use. I used half and half of chilli with kashmiri chillies.
