Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and chop them into large chunks. This allows them to cook evenly.
  • In a pan, combine the potatoes, tomatoes, Raja Mircha, salt, and enough water to cover the ingredients.
  • Cook until the potatoes are tender and the water has completely evaporated. For faster cooking, use a pressure cooker.
  • Transfer the cooked mixture to a mortar and pestle. Mash all the ingredients together until smooth. This traditional method creates the perfect texture.
  • Serve the chutney as a condiment. Optionally, top with chopped onion for added flavor and texture.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • You can add chopped coriander leaves for extra flavor.
  • For a smokier flavor, roast the tomatoes and chilies over an open flame or directly on a gas stove before blending.
  • If you prefer a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the Raja Mircha or substitute with milder green chilies and a small piece of Naga chili.
  • For a more textured chutney, lightly mash the boiled potatoes by hand instead of blending them completely.
  • This chutney tastes even better after resting for an hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

Expert Tips

  • Adjust the amount of chilies to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more gradually to taste.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of red and green tomatoes.
  • A squeeze of lemon juice just before serving can brighten the flavors of the chutney.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
