This is my mother in law’s recipe. It is a bit sweet, sour and moreish. Make a batch (mine lasts for over a week in the refrigerator) to use with toast and sandwiches.
INGREDIENTS
200 grams onions, chopped
2 cups chopped coriander leaves, stems and root
4-5 hot green chillies
1-2tbsps tamarind paste
1-2tsps Jaggery or brown sugar
3tbsps vegetable oil
Salt to taste
METHOD
Heat the oil in a small wok or kadai. When hot, add the onions and green chillies. Put the heat on medium and fry till onions turn a pale brown. This process gives natural sweetness to your chutney.
Toss the prepared fresh coriander. Fry till all the leaves are wilted and look cooked.
Mix in the tamarind and put the mixture into a food processor. Add salt and grind till desired consistency is achieved. Adjust seasoning as per your taste.
