Ingredients

• 15 green chillies
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 tbsp sev or crushed potato wafers
• 1/2 tsp jaggery
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp oil

Method

1. Prepare the ingredients:

   • Wash and roughly chop the coriander leaves.
   • Peel the garlic clove and set aside all other ingredients.

2. Blend the chutney:

   • Add green chillies, coriander leaves, lemon juice, sev (or crushed potato wafers), jaggery, salt, and garlic to a small mixie jar.

3. Temper and add oil:

   • Heat oil in a small pan and add a pinch of asafoetida (optional).
   • Pour this hot oil into the mixie jar with the other ingredients.

4. Grind the mixture:

   • Blend everything into a smooth chutney.
   • Avoid adding water unless necessary; use minimal water only to adjust consistency.

5. Store properly:

   • Transfer the chutney to a clean, dry glass jar.
   • Refrigerate immediately to retain freshness and color.

Note

• Sev is a crispy fried Indian snack made from gram flour, often used for texture and mild flavor in chutneys.
• To enhance shelf life, ensure no excess moisture enters the jar.
• You can also add a few mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
