Prepare the Cashew Paste

Assemble the Chutney

  • Add the couscous paste, cashew paste, and yogurt to the coconut mixture. Continue grinding until all ingredients are well combined and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

Finish and Serve

  • Stir in the mustard oil. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the chutney with steamed rice, roti, or as a dip for snacks.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For an even smoother chutney, strain the chutney through a fine-mesh sieve after grinding.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the level of spiciness to your preference.
  • If you don't have a mortar and pestle, a food processor can be used, but hand-grinding is recommended for optimal flavor and texture.
  • For a richer flavor, toast the cashews lightly in a dry pan before soaking and grinding.
