Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams Fresh amla
  • 300 grams Fresh coriander leaves
  • 6 pieces Fresh green chilies
  • 1 piece Fresh ginger 1-inch size (cut roughly)
  • 1 tsp Black salt
  • ½ tsp Cumin seeds
  • ½ cup Small gram flour balls (boondi)
  • Water as needed

Instructions
 

  • Take 250 gm or about 6 to 8 pieces of amla. Cut them into small pieces and discard the seeds. (Pro tip: Wash amla nicely and ensure that they are fresh).
  • Now, take a clean grinder and put the pieces of fresh amla in it along with 6 to 7 pieces of fresh green chilies and 1 piece of fresh ginger of about 1-inch size, cut roughly. (Pro tip: You may increase or decrease the number of green chilies according to your preference. Also, cut the ginger roughly before putting it into the grinder. This will help in easy grinding and a smoother paste).
  • Now, add 300 gms of fresh coriander leaves in the grinder. (Pro tip: Remember, the quantity of coriander leaves must be more than the quantity of amla. Also, do not remove the stem from the leaves. This will add to the taste and flavor of the amla chutney).
  • Now, add 1 tsp of black salt to the grinder. (Pro tip: If you do not have black salt at home, you may use an equal amount of regular table salt. However, adding black salt will double the taste of the amla chutney).
  • Then, add ½ tsp of cumin seeds to the ingredients.
  • Finally, add about ½ cup of small besan or gram flour balls (boondi) to the grinder. (Pro tip: If you do not have boondi at home, you can add any other type of such salty fried ingredient to the chutney).
  • Now, add water to the grinder as needed and then grind it into a smooth paste.
  • Check the consistency. If you want it finer and thinner, add a few spoonfuls of water to it and blend them again. (Pro tip: Blend in small intervals so that the motor does not generate heat which might make the color of the chutney darker. You may also add a pinch of turmeric to it for preservation).
  • When you are happy with the color and consistency, pour the paste into a bowl and your amla chutney is ready to be consumed.

Notes

Always use fresh amla to make this chutney. This will optimize the taste and flavor of the chutney.
Wash thoroughly and cut the amla into chunks and deseed them. This will ensure easy grinding.
Grind all ingredients to perfection. Grind them in short intervals. This will prevent heat generation by the electric motor.
I am always generous while adding coriander leaves. I also use them along with the stems. It helps enhance the flavor and taste of the chutney significantly.
I prefer using black salt in the chutney. This adds to the flavor. However, if you do not have it at home, you may use regular salt as a replacement.
