Instructions

- Sprinkle few drops of water as and when required to help in the even grinding. Once done, scrap it with the help of a spoon and gather it in a bowl.
Tadka

- You can add ginger, garlic, fresh coriander to add additional flavours to this basic chutney. But we like it simple and plain when it comes to relishing ‘Getti’ chutney.
- Tadka is optional. You can skip it and add few curry pathas and hing while grinding itself.
