Hi Girls,
Great Recipe! Slight variation from how we make it in India (Mumbai to be precise), what we do is dry roast ground nuts and add it instead of the bell pepper and green chillies instead of jalapenos for that additional kick that you mentioned, an onion and two pods of garlic adds a wonderful flavour. I am going try your recipe today, it seems much more faster than the Mumbai version and great tip about the oil and the ice cubes!!!
Great Going!!!

Just to piggy back of what Shweta said, we also add nuts, peanuts to be exact. You can add them whole in the blender or crush them a bit first then add to the blender with other ingredients. We also add 1-2 cloves of garlic. It adds great substance to the chutney.
Great tip about the oil, I always wondered what I could do to prevent the discoloring. I will try it next time I make it.

By the way, the ice cube method can also be used with Pani of Pani Puri. If you make a lot, pour the remaining in an ice tray, once they’re frozen, remove from tray and put them in a ziploc bag. When you need to use them, take out as many cubes as you need and let it defrost. Great time saver.

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
Can you use a food processor instead of a mixer or will it not work as well?

Hi Judy,
A food processor will not give you the right texture. It does not grind as finely as a blender.

Couple of suggestions:
-grind some more Cilantro and add it in.
- make another batch without any chillies and mix the 2.

I am not able to blend the mixture into a paste. I have Hamilton Beach’s 10 speed blender. Even after pushing the mixture down every while and grinding, I end up with very coarse paste with large chunks remaining. Could you please suggest a better option.Thanks

Hi Karunya,
No question is ever silly. Technically, years ago, people did use mortal and pestle to make chutneys so it is definitely possible. The texture of course will not be the super smooth one we’re used to with a blender. Even the type of mortar you use will affect the outcome. Some stone ones that have a rough surface work the best. Your other option would be a food processor if you have it. Again, the texture will not be smooth as a blender.
