Notes
Variations & Tips:
- If you dont have tamarind replace it with lemon juice or curd.For authentic chutney recipe tamarind is used.
- I sometimes like adding few curry leaves while grinding gives unique taste and is more healthier.
- 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.
