Chef's Tips

For a smoother chutney, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.

Adjust the amount of green chili to control the spiciness. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor.

Store leftover chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This chutney pairs perfectly with samosas, pakoras, tandoori dishes, and grilled meats.

You can add a small piece of amla (Indian gooseberry) for an extra tangy and healthy boost.
