Ingredients
1 cup = 250 ml
- 1/2 cup fresh coriander (washed & completely free from water)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (washed & completely free from water)
- 12-15 curry leaves (washed & completely free from water)
- 2/3 cup Chana dal
- 3-4 green chilies
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 pinches hing
- 1 tsp dry ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp black salt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dry mango powder
- 1/4 tsp citric acid
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Take a pan and add cumin seeds and chana dal.
- Dry roast for 3-4 minutes or until dal and cumin turns slightly brown.
- Remove the pan from the heat and while the pan is still hot, add hing, dry ginger powder, black salt and salt.
- Roast for a minute. Let it turn cool down completely.
- Add coriander, mint, curry leaves, green chilies, dry mango powder, citric acid, chaat masala and sugar.
- Also add roasted ingredients from the pan.
- Grind to a smooth powder.
- Spread in a wide plate and leave under fan for some time so that any moisture left in the powder vanishes.
- Green chutney premix is ready. Fill in a clean glass bottle.
- For making instant chutney, take 2-3 tbsp of premix in a bowl and slowly mix water to make the desired consistency of chutney.
Notes
- Use completely dry spoon to take out the premix. Keeping it away from moisture is very important because a single drop of water can spoil the entire batch.
- Discard the dull, yellow and wilted leaves.
- Make sure there's no water left in the leaves after washing.
- Coriander is added with tender stems whereas there are mint and curry leaves only.
- Initially we grinded in big jar but the ingredients were not grinding properly. Thereafter we shifted the ingredients (in parts) to small chutney jar and it came out good.
