IMG_8598

This chunky,mouth watering, finger licking chutney is for those who crave for that hint of sugar in every spicy bite. This is one of my favorite chutneys. It has a really long shelf life and actually never goes stale on you.

Ingredients
1 chopped red onions
1 tsp red chili powder (base it on taste)  
1tsp paprika (for color)  
2 tbsp sliced garlic  
1/2 cup tamarind pulp extracted from 1 lemon sized tamarind
3 green chilies slit lengthwise
1/2 tsp black mustard seeds
small pinch of asafoetida 
1 tsp jaggery shavings 
salt to taste 
1 spring of curry leaves 
2-3 tsp of sesame oil (cold pressed)

Directions

  • Heat oil in a pan, add asafoetida, mustard and curry leaves.
  • Add onions, green chilies and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent
  • Add chili powder and paprika and sauté for a few minutes.
  • Pour in the tamarind pulp and bring to boil.
  • Add jaggery and salt to taste.
  • Serve with dosas or idlis.
