Ingredients
- 1 cup packed Coriander fresh
- 10 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 Chili Pepper green
- 1/4 Mango or 1 tbsp amchur powder (dry mango powder), raw
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Aloo Bhujia adds a unique crunch and flavor, also known as optional
- 2-3 tbsp Water add gradually to reach desired consistency
Instructions
Washing the Coriander
- Thoroughly wash the fresh coriander leaves 2-3 times by submerging them in a bowl of water, gently swirling, and removing. Repeat this process to remove any impurities.
Blending the Ingredients
- Pick only the coriander leaves, discarding the stems. Combine the coriander leaves, garlic cloves, green chilies, and raw mango in a blender.
Achieving the Right Consistency
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of water, blending in small increments to prevent a runny consistency. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Adding Optional Ingredients & Seasoning
- Add the optional aloo bhujiya (fried potato sticks) and blend again. Finally, add salt and blend one last time.
Storing the Chutney
- Transfer the chutney to a clean, dry glass jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to 10-15 days. Always use a clean, dry spoon when serving to maintain freshness.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a deeper green: Blanch the coriander leaves briefly in boiling water before blending. This helps preserve the chlorophyll.
- Adjust the spice level: Control the heat by adjusting the quantity of green chilies according to your preference. Start with fewer and add more to taste.
- Enhance the flavor: Add a pinch of roasted cumin powder or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra layer of complexity.
- Proper Storage is Key: Ensure your jar is completely dry before adding the chutney to prevent mold growth and maximize its shelf life.
