Chutneys, the beloved Indian condiments, are a part of almost every Indian dining table. From the classic coconut chutney usually paired with South Indian staples to the spicy hari chutney without which North Indian meals are complete, chutney is a part of every home. And the best part is that you can easily make it at home without having to go through the tedious process of hand grinding.
With Usha’s juicer mixer grinder, you can make a wide variety of chutneys without spending hours in the kitchen with a silbatta or juggling between multiple appliances. You can make fuss-free chutneys using just the usual kitchen ingredients like coconut, mint, coriander, chillies, etc. If you need some inspiration, here’s a list of easy chutneys that you can quickly whip up using a juicer mixer grinder.
Coconut Chutney
Coconut chutney is one of the most frequently made condiments in South Indian households. Since no serving of idlis or dosas is complete without coconut chutney, here’s how you can make it using Usha’s juicer mixer grinder. Just take some freshly grated coconut, green chillies, roasted chana dal, ginger, and salt. Add a splash of water, and grind in the mixer. Temper with mustard seed, red chillies, and curry leaves, and your coconut chutney will be ready to serve.
Hari Chutney
Hari or green chutney is primarily made using coriander and mint leaves. To make it using the modern appliance, you can chop the fresh leaves, add some lemon juice, green chillies, and a ginger-garlic paste. Give all the ingredients a whirl in the juicer mixer grinder till smooth. You can add a little water to even out the consistency and pair it with snacks like pakoras, samosas, chaats, and more.
Peanut Chutney
The rich and nutty peanut chutney is an underrated accompaniment that you must try making at home. All you need to do is roast some raw peanuts and grind them in Usha’s juicer mixer grinder with chillies, garlic, and a little tamarind. Once you get a silky texture, mix in a tempering of mustard seeds, dried red chillies, and curry leaves.
Tomato Chutney
If you like to have a tangy condiment with your meals, a serving of tomato chutney would be the perfect choice. To make it in your kitchen, you’ll need to start by sautéing onions, tomato, garlic, ginger, and some chillies. Once aromatic, you can blend the mixture using Usha’s juicer mixer grinder. Finally, adjust the sweetness by adding some tamarind or jaggery and serve with parathas, rice, or rotis.
Lehsun Chutney
Lehsun or garlic chutney is another spicy condiment that can be quickly prepared using roasted garlic, red chillies, and some salt. While it is usually used to spread on street snacks like vada pav, sandwiches, or even added to chaats, you can also pair it with dry sabzis or biryani to add a spicy and flavourful kick to your meals.
