Ingredients
200
g
Imli
seedless, unsalted (read package)
3
cups
Water
(very hot, boiling works)
½
cup
Brown Sugar
can go upto ¾ if you want
1
tsp
Chili Flakes
(¾ tsp powder)
¾
tsp
Roasted Cumin Powder
¾
tsp
Roasted Coriander Powder
(optional, but adds a great smokiness)
½
tsp
Salt
¼
tsp
Pink Salt
(if you don't have it add ½ tsp of chaat masala at the end)
1
tbsp
dried mint or fresh
(optional, but adds such lovely flavour!)
Instructions
Break the imli into smaller chunks and pour over hot water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes or until softened.
Strain the Imli into a pot, just use the back of a spoon to make sure you get maximum flavour in your pot.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil
Simmer for 15 minutes. The chutney will thicken a little, but will still be runny.
Let cool completely then store in a jar in the fridge, it will keep for a few weeks. You can also freeze half.
Notes
If you like a sweeter chutney simply increase the brown sugar!
