Notes
Tips & Variations
Urad dal gives thick consistency to the chutney. You can replace Urad dal with Chana dal for this recipe. You can also replace it with peanuts for a variation.
Don't add any water to the grind, the moisture from the zucchini is enough to grind.
You can also add 2 tablespoons of freshly grated coconut to this chutney.
Tempering is totally optional but I highly recommend adding it.
If you don't have tamarind use 2 teaspoons of lemon juice instead.
