Ingredients

Saltto taste
Garlic6 cloves
Mustard Seeds1 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
Asafoetidaa pinch
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Coconut Oil1 tbsp
Sesame Seeds2 cups, chopped

Instructions

1
Get everything ready: fresh coconut or the sesame seeds prepped, spices within reach — chutney takes minutes.
2
If the recipe roasts, dry-roast the dried red chilies till aromatic; if fresh, skip straight to grinding.
3
Blitz the sesame seeds with the roasted bits, tamarind and salt, adding water a spoon at a time.
4
Balance the three notes: more tamarind for sour, more chili for bite, salt to make both sing.
5
Pour the crackling tadka over the chutney and leave it sitting on top like a crown.

Chef's tip

Grind with minimal water for a chutney that keeps longer.
