Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Whole red chilies
  • ¼ cup Tamarind paste
  • 7 cloves Fresh garlic (deskinned)
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Table salt
  • 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri red chili powder (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Take about half a cup of whole red chilies in a bowl. (Pro tip: Any type of red chili will do. Adjust the amount of whole red chilies according to your preference).
  • Then add about ¼ cup of tamarind paste to it. (Pro tip: You may add a bit more tamarind paste to the content if you want more tanginess in your chutney).
  • Now add 7 to 8 cloves of fresh, deskinned garlic to it.
  • Follow it with 1 tsp of cumin seeds. (Pro tip: You may have the cumin seeds dry roasted if you like to enhance the taste and flavor of the pakora chutney).
  • Now add 1 tsp of regular table salt to the bowl.
  • Finally, add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves to the ingredients in the bowl.
  • Now, transfer everything in the bowl to a grinder, grind them nicely to a fine paste, and pour it into a bowl. Mix it nicely and check the consistency. (Pro tip: If you want a smoother and finer texture, blend it one more time. Do not add water).
  • If you are happy with the consistency, add a pinch or ½ tsp of Kashmiri red chili powder to give the chutney a nice red color. Finally, your spicy pakora chutney is ready to serve. (Pro tip: You may skip adding Kashmiri red chili powder to the chutney if you like).

Notes

You can use different types of red chilies to make this chutney at home. You can even alter the number of whole chilies according to your taste preference.
Use fresh mint leaves only to make this chutney. Remove the stems as well so that it does not render a bitter taste to your chutney.
I prefer a mildly tangy taste in my chutney. However, you may alter the amount if you want your chutney to taste tangier.
You may also add a few more garlic cloves for an intense garlic flavor in your chutney. However, I suggest using just enough garlic so that it does not overpower the flavor of other ingredients in the chutney.
Dry roast the cumin seeds before adding them to the chutney. This will enhance the aroma and the overall taste.
