Notes:

  • If you wish you can once again season this chutney with mustard seeds, ulunthu, curry leaves and asafoetida at the end.
  • Do not add too much tamarind as it will make the chutney very sour. Just add a pinch of tamarind.
  • Do not grind chutney to a fine paste. It should be grinded coarsely.
