Pistachio Chutney
Pistachio chutney is made from a paste comprising roasted pistachios, coconut, ginger, green chili with a tempering of mustard, asafetida and curry leaves.
Ingredients
To make the chutney paste:
- ½ cup coconut freshly cut pieces
- 1 tsp ginger peeled and roughly diced
- 1 piece green chili
- Curry leaves a few
- 25 pieces pistachio roasted, skin removed
- ¼ tsp salt
- Water as required
For making the tadka:
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- Asafetida a pinch
- Curry leaves a few
Instructions
- Take a clean mixer grinder and put all the ingredients like ½ cup coconut (freshly cut pieces), 1 tsp ginger (peeled and roughly diced), 1 piece green chili, a few curry leaves, about 25 pieces pistachio (roasted, skin removed), ¼ tsp salt, and a little bit of water.
- Grind them all.
- Transfer it to a bowl and keep aside.
- Now, to make the tadka for the pistachio chutney, heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a pan. When it is hot, add 1 tsp of mustard seeds and 1 tsp of asafetida to it. (Pro tip: You may remove the pan from the flame while adding the mustard seeds. I usually do it for additional safety).
- When the mustard seed stop crackling, add the curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
- Pour the tadka immediately to the pistachio chutney in the bowl. Mix it nicely and your tasty and spicy homemade pistachio chutney is ready to serve with dosa, idli, vada, or fritters.

Notes
I usually prefer the nutty feeling of pistachios and so I do not make a very smooth paste of it. However, it is up to you whether you want a smooth or a relatively coarse chutney.
While grinding the ingredients, add water as required into the mixer. Do not add too much of water. You do not want too runny pistachio chutney.
I prefer my chutney to be less spicy and so have used only one green chili. If you want your pistachio chutney to be spicy, you may add more than one green chilies.
You can use any type of cooking oil to make the tadka.
Be very careful when you add the mustard seeds in the hot oil as it will crackle and sprinkle hot oil all over.
