The side that runs the show — garlic chutney turns plain rice or hot idli into a full meal. Gives you a proper meal in 15 minutes.

Instructions

1
Prepare the main — roast, fry or grate as the tradition asks; colour is flavour here.
2
Grind everything to the texture you like: silky for the table, rustic for the banana-leaf plate.
3
Taste and balance salt, sour and heat — a chutney should wake the meal, not fight it.
4
Temper the mustard seeds and curry leaves in hot oil and pour over the top.
5
Serve fresh; it keeps two days refrigerated if it lasts that long.

Chef's tip

A spoon of cold water while grinding keeps the blade from heating the oils.
