Chintakaya Pachadi

🇮🇳 Indian

Raw tamarind chutney, sour to the point of joy. Small bowl, big personality. Spoon alongside breakfast or stir through hot rice with ghee.

Prep 8 min Cook 14 min Serves 8 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies2
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.

  2. 2

    If the recipe roasts, dry-roast the onion till aromatic; if fresh, skip straight to grinding.

  3. 3

    Pound or blend the tamarind paste with chilies, tamarind and salt; the stone grinder texture is worth chasing.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust — salt, sour, heat; chutney should be slightly louder than the dish it accompanies.

  5. 5

    Finish with a sizzling tempering: mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilies poured over the top; stir in only at serving.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
