Green Chutney

Green Chutney

Green Chutney is used along side many different dishes in India.  We think it's delicious with our Aloo Ki Tikki Recipe, which are effectively spiced potato patties fried in oil.  A comforting, moreish dish which makes a cracking starter or snack.   This chutney recipe keeps in the fridge for up to a week or you could freeze in ice cube trays so it's handy for another time.

1-2 green chili
2 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp salt

Water for loosening
1/2 tsp sugar (leave out if you wish
