Notes

- The same procedure suits for Mint leaves too..
- Don’t add urad dhal and coconut much.. they both added to this chutney to remove the exact coriander bitterness.
- If you like to add some mustard and urad dhal in tempering then add it to the hot oil, i prefer a smooth chutney here, so i didn’t added..
- Refrigerate the chutney after use.
- Store in air tight container..
- Use Dry spoon to take out the chutney..
- Adjust the Spice level and tamarind to your taste buds..
