MY TIPS
An electric blender will help you make this recipe in minutes
A microplane will give you an excellent fine grate on your ginger and garlic
My Mum's secret tip - cooking off the garlic gives a better flavour and prevents any gut irritation, reflux etc. compared to adding raw, uncooked garlic
Ensure your coriander and mint are thoroughly washed
Start with less chilli if you want a milder chutney, you can always blend more in
This chutney is perfect served with samosas or batata wadas along with a some sweet and tangy tamarind chutney
Spread on buttered bread and add a slice of cheese for a traditional and delicious Parsi sandwich
