Ingredients
Spices and Flavoring
- 2 Raja Mircha naga king chili
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Other
- Water as needed
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.
