3 different chutneys, i never made the last one at home :) Good one to share !
wow!3 chutneys looks awesome...love the green color...and nice template dear...just catching up after a break
yummy looking chutneys medhaa! indeed chutneys at home are always useful for chaat items :D ....
hey I have a surprise for you at http://foodwithapinchoflove.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/blogging-friends-forever-award/
Chutneys look so tasty! I too make chutneys regularly.
Chutneys dekh kar mu mei pani aa raha hai....
Really good-looking chutneys, all three of them!
everythin looks good,..yuummy ones,..good for chat party
All the 3 chutneys look delicious. For the Khatta Mitha one, i usually add dates. Will try ur version too.
An Indian without the green, and the tamarind chutney - Impossible!
Good threes ;-)
Well i can manage number of diff. dishes if i have chutney resting in my refrigerator,but alas i make it very occassionally since no one else except me have it.Also i like to add ginger garlic and some spinach leaves in green chutney...it gives a very distinct flavor to the final outcome....neverthe less ,these all three of them are personal fav. and i too prefer one without mint,coz mint just mask the whole flavor of coriander leaves
If these chutneys are handy, you can try a huge variety of chaats...love it
I used the same ingredients as mentioned in Pudina Chutney, but mine turned out to be bitter. :(
Can you please explain what went wrong? Thanks.
Hi Pallavi,
Pudina chutney that Mom makes which recipe I have here is bitter since she uses a lot of pudina which is bitter, papa loves it that way, I find it too bitter. I would either make the coriander chutney or put lesser pudina in my chutney, try 1/4 bunch and if thats too bitter too for your tastes, use about 5 to 6 leaves.
