Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Brahmi Chutney
- For a smoother chutney, you can briefly pulse the roasted ingredients in a food processor before adding the brahmi leaves.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level according to your preference.
- If you don't have dried fish, you can substitute with a teaspoon of fish sauce or omit entirely for a vegetarian version.
- For an extra layer of flavor, temper the chutney with a teaspoon of mustard seeds and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds before adding the brahmi leaves. Heat the seeds in a small pan until they pop, then add them to the chutney.
