Green Chutney for Surti Locho - Indian Style

Step 1: Prepare the base

Add 2 tablespoons of ginger-mirch paste and 5-6 chopped green chilies to a blender jar.

Step 2: Add fresh herbs and spices

Add 1 cup packed fresh coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the blender.

Step 3: Incorporate peanuts and lemon

Add 1/4 cup of peanuts and squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the blender with the other ingredients.

Step 4: Grind to a smooth chutney

Grind all the ingredients in the mixer until a smooth, vibrant green chutney is formed. Add a splash of water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 5: Serve

The fresh green chutney is now ready to be served with Surti Locho or your favorite snacks.

• Adjust the amount of green chilies and ginger-mirch paste according to your preferred spice level.

• Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to achieve a smooth grinding consistency.

• For a tangier chutney, add more lemon juice.

• Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

• For a slightly different flavor profile, you can add a small piece of raw mango or a few mint leaves.

• To make it creamier, add a tablespoon of yogurt (if not vegan) or a small piece of coconut while grinding.
