Prepare the Chilies

First, remove the stems and seeds from the dried red chilies. Submerge the chilies in hot water for about 30 minutes to soften them.

Blend the Ingredients

Drain the softened chilies thoroughly. In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, garlic cloves, chopped tomato (if using), lemon juice, salt, and roasted cumin seeds. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water, as needed, to achieve a smooth paste. Blend until completely smooth.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Rajasthani Chutney

For a smoother chutney, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. This will remove any seeds or tough chili pieces.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to control the tartness according to your preference.
If you prefer a less spicy chutney, use fewer chilies or remove some of the seeds before soaking.
For a richer flavor, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the blender.
