Notes

  • Adjust consistency of chutney according to your preference.
  • Add 2 more green chillies if you prefer a very spicy chutney.
  • While tempering add a pinch of hing if you like the flavor.
  • I used green chillies, you can replace with red chillies too.
  • If you don't like ginger flavour, skip it.
  • You can add 2 pearls of small onion too.
  • This chutney is meant to be slightly runny but if you prefer you can make it a bit thick too as per your preference.
