Ingredients
- 1 Handful Fresh Coriander Leaves Kothimbir: Washed thoroughly, keeping the tender stems intact.
- 1 Large Tomato: Roughly chopped.
- 7 to 8 Garlic Cloves.
- 1 tsp Coriander Seeds Sabut Dhania.
- 2 Dried Red Chillies: Adjust to your spice preference you can also use green chillies.
- A small piece of Tamarind Imli.
- Salt: To taste.
- Optional: 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds Jeera.
- Optional: 2 to 4 Fresh Mint Leaves Pudina.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the greens. Start by thoroughly washing your fresh coriander leaves. Make sure to include the tender stems, as they hold a lot of delicious flavour.
- Step 2: Add ingredients to the jar. In a mixer grinder jar, add the washed coriander leaves, the chopped tomato, garlic cloves, coriander seeds, dried red chillies, tamarind, and salt to taste. If you are using cumin seeds or mint leaves, add them now.
- Step 3: Pulse the mixture. This is the most important step for this Kothimbir Chutney recipe. Do not blend the mixer continuously. Use the "pulse" method—turn the mixer on and off in quick bursts.
- Step 4: Check the texture. You want the chutney to have a coarse, rustic texture (dardara) rather than a completely smooth, fine paste. This gives it that authentic, village-style taste.
- Step 5: Serve and enjoy! Transfer your freshly ground chutney to a small bowl and serve immediately!
