Mint-Tamarind Chutney (Imli-Podina Chutney)

Ingredients

  • Podina/ Mint (1 bunch)
  • Tamarind/ Imli (250grams)
  • Green chillies (5-6)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, 2 tsp)
  • Salt to taste

Method

Now here’s the trick. Dip tamarind (imli) in hot water to make pulp. Once you have your pulp, dip the whole mint bunch (washed) in the tamarind pulp, for at least four hours. You can do this overnight. Remember to dip the whole bunch and not pick leaves first. When the mint leaves become black, detach them from their stems and put in blender along with the tamarind pulp. Don’t forget to separate the seeds from the pulp. Now put in green chillies, garlic cloves and salt to taste and blend.

Spicy, minty and oh so delicious tamarind-mind chutney is ready to be served. Goes best with curries and BBQ.
