Variations & Tips

1. If you don't have tamarind replace it with lemon juice or curd. For authentic chutney recipe tamarind is used.
2. I sometimes like adding few curry leaves while grinding gives unique taste and is more healthier.
3. If you are using frozen shredded coconut, add some hot water while grinding or microwave frozen coconut for few seconds before grinding. This will get you right chutney consistency
