Author Sarah Mir

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!
