Ingredients

Pachimirapakayalu (Hari Mirch, Green Chillies) : 150 grams

Allam (Adarak, Ginger) : 25 grams

Karivepaku (Cudi Patta, Curry Leaves) : 2 stems

Vullipaya (Pyaz, Onion) : 1

Vellulli (Lahsun, Garlic) : 1 full

Jeelakarra (Jeera, Cumin seeds) : 1 tsp

Chintapandu (Imli, Tamarind) Paste : 2 tsp

Uppu (Namak, Salt) : 1 & 1/2 to 2 tsp

Pasupu (Haldi, Turmeric) : 1/2 tsp

Nune (Thel, Oil) : 2 tsp

Procedure

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients

Wash the green chillies thoroughly and peel the skin off the ginger. These two ingredients are the key to the chutney's fiery flavor.

Step 2: Frying the ingredients

Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan. Once hot, add the green chillies, ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté them for about 5 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 3: Preparing onions

While the ingredients are frying, chop the onion into small pieces. This will be blended with the chutney later to add texture.

Step 4: Blending the mixture

Once fried, blend the green chillies and ginger into a smooth paste. Then, add tamarind paste, cumin seeds, garlic, salt, and turmeric. Blend everything again until smooth.

Step 5: Adding onions and final blending

Add the chopped onion pieces to the blended chutney mixture and blend again until well-combined. The onions will give the chutney a slightly crunchy texture and enhance its flavor.
