Tips & Variations
- If you don't have dry red chilies at home, use 1 teaspoon of red chili powder while grinding.
- Increase or decrease the dry red chilies according to your spice level.
- Do not skip adding peanuts they give body to the chutney and enhance the taste. Don't add more you will end up with peanut chutney.
- If you don't have tamarind, use 2 teaspoons of lemon juice instead.
- If you don't like garlic, you can skip and add ¼ teaspoon of hing (asafetida) instead.
- Tempering is totally optional, but I highly recommend adding it.
