Pudina Aur Imli Chutney
Mint-tamarind chutney, the green drizzle that cuts through every fried snack. Small bowl, big personality. Spoon alongside breakfast or stir through hot rice with ghee.
Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Green Chili2
- Mint Leaves1/4 cup
- Mustard Seeds1 tsp
- Curry Leaves1 sprig
- Dried Red Chilies2
- Asafoetidaa pinch
- Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
- Roasted Cumin1 tsp
- Coconut Oil1 tbsp
Instructions
- 1
Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.
- 2
Toast the tamarind paste lightly for depth, or keep it raw for brightness — both are correct.
- 3
Grind the mint leaves with the tamarind paste, tamarind, green chilies and salt to a texture you like — smooth or rustic.
- 4
Taste and adjust — salt, sour, heat; chutney should be slightly louder than the dish it accompanies.
- 5
Pour the crackling tadka over the chutney and leave it sitting on top like a crown.
Chef's tip
The tempering isn't optional — it is the aroma layer.
