Expert Tips for the Best Green Chutney
- For a smoother chutney, remove the stems from the coriander and mint leaves before blending.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the level of spiciness according to your preference.
- Toasting the chana dal lightly before soaking and blending can enhance its nutty flavor.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of roasted cumin seeds or a small piece of asafoetida (hing) while blending.
