Method
Wash the green chillies and coriander leaves. Remove the chilli stems, roughly chop the onion, peel the garlic and roughly chop the coriander leaves. Soak the tamarind in 30 ml warm water for 10 minutes until soft, then squeeze out the pulp and discard the fibre and seeds.
Heat the oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add the green chillies, onion and garlic. Fry for 5 to 6 minutes until the chillies and onion soften and the raw smell of the garlic goes.
Cool the fried mixture for 10 minutes until it is completely cool before blending. Add it to a mixie with the coriander leaves, tamarind pulp and salt.
Add 30 ml water and grind to a slightly coarse chutney. Grind until there are no large pieces.
Taste and adjust the salt. Transfer the chutney to a bowl and serve it with hot rice and dal or another meal dish.
