Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams Fresh green chilies (cut roughly)
  • ½ cup Freshly grated coconut
  • 3 tbsp Jaggery (powdered)
  • 1 tbsp White oil
  • 1.5 tbsp Split black lentils (urad dal)
  • 1 tsp Chickpea lentils (chana dal)
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 piece Ginger 1-inch size (deskinned and chopped roughly)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (deskinned and chopped roughly)
  • 1 piece Tamarind (size of a gooseberry)
  • ¼ cup Fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 tsp Table salt

Instructions
 

  • Take a frying pan and heat it on a low flame on your gas stove. When it is hot enough, add 1 tbsp of white oil in it.
  • Now, put 1.5 tsp of split black lentils (urad dal) and 1 tsp of chickpea lentils (chana dal) in the pan.
  • Stir them for about a minute.
  • Then add 1 tsp of cumin seeds.
  • Stir the ingredients for about another minute to cook them nicely.
  • Watch the color of the ingredients. Ideally, you must continue cooking until the color changes to golden brown.
  • Now, add 1 small piece of ginger of about 1 inch size, deskinned and chopped roughly, and 3 cloves of garlic, also deskinned and chopped roughly, to the ingredients in the frying pan. Do not forget to stir them to cook them nicely.
  • Then add 100 gms of roughly cut fresh green chilies in the pan.
  • Stir them nicely till the green chilies are cooked nicely.
  • Now, add 1 piece of tamarind of the size of a gooseberry and 1 tsp of table salt along with it to the cooked ingredients in the frying pan.
  • Stir them to cook and mix them nicely with the other ingredients.
  • Now, add about ¼ cup of fresh coriander leaves.
  • Stir all the ingredients until the coriander leaves are cooked.
  • Now, add ½ cup of freshly grated coconut to the mixture.
  • Keep stirring all the ingredients until they are roasted nicely.
  • When it is cooked properly, turn off the flame of your gas stove and set the pan aside for the ingredients to cool off at room temperature.
  • Now, take a clean grinder.
  • Transfer all the cooked ingredients from the frying pan to the grinder.
  • Then, add 3 tbsp of powdered jaggery to the grinder. You may add a little water to the content if you want.
  • Now, grind the ingredients to a paste. (Pro tip: I prefer a thick consistency and a coarser texture. However, you may add some more water to make it thinner and blend it a couple of times to get a smoother texture).
  • Now, take a clean bowl.
  • Pour the paste into the bowl. Your green chili chutney is finally ready to be consumed with a diverse range of dishes and snacks.

Notes

I use fresh green chilies and coconut to make this chutney at home. Freshness adds an additional burst of flavor to the chutney. I suggest you do the same.
I like my chutney to be spicy. However, if you want you may not use the same quantity of green chilies as I have. It is your choice.
Roast the spices and other ingredients to perfection. Make sure you do not overcook or burn them. This will render a bitter taste to the chutney.
While grinding, check the consistency of the chutney. If you want a smoother texture, grind it for a longer time or else grinding it once is good to achieve a coarse texture.
Soaking the tamarind in warm water is a good practice to enhance the flavor of the chutney. It will also be easier to blend.
