I came across this recipe when I visited my cousin’s daughter’s school fair. There was a sweet teacher supervising one of the food stalls in the fair and was offering this chutney as a compliment to the visitors smilingly. She said it was her special chutney she made at home. I liked the unique taste and flavor of the chutney and could not resist myself from asking the recipe from her.

She shared it with joy. I tried to make it at home the next day. My husband said it tasted cheerful, and the boys called it “fair food.” Now, it is our school carnival favorite! That fun event and my unplanned visit reminded me that even educators love sharing their joys outside the classroom—on plates filled with flavor, fun, and thoughtful creativity.

How to Make Black Sesame Seed Chutney? (Step by Step Guide with Images)

Step 1: First, take a clean grinder and put 100 gm of black sesame seed in it.

(Pro tip: It is best to use freshly roasted sesame seeds. Take a frying pan, heat it on a low flame, put the seeds, and stir them continuously for about a minute or two. However, ensure that you put the roasted sesame seeds in the grinder only when it is sufficiently cool).

Step 2: Then, add 15 to 20 medium-sized cloves of fresh garlic into the grinder.

Step 3: Follow it with 1 onion, roughly diced.

Step 4: Now add 2 pieces of fresh green chilies to the ingredients in the grinder.

(Pro tip: You can increase or decrease the number of green chilies according to your taste).

Step 5: Then add 1 small piece of fresh tomato, cut roughly in the grinder.

(Pro tip: If you do not have fresh tomatoes at home, you can add 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice to the ingredients as an alternative).

Step 6: Now, add about ½ cup of fresh coriander leaves in the grinder as well.

Step 7: Follow it with 1 piece of roughly cut fresh ginger of about 1-inch size, with or without the skin.

Step 8: Now, add 1 tsp of regular table salt to the ingredients in the grinder.

Step 9: Then, add 1 tsp of dry red chili powder to the ingredients.

(Pro tip: Once again, you can adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your preference).

Step 10: Finally, add about ½ a cup of water to the grinder.

Step 11: Grind them all to a fine paste.

Step 12: Now, transfer the paste to a plate, and garnish it with a slice of tomato and coriander leaf. Your homemade black sesame seed chutney is eventually ready to be served with different dishes and snack varieties.
