Ingredients:
1 cup Karonda (Indian cranberries)
1/2 cup Coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
2-3 Green chilies, chopped
3-4 Garlic cloves
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Wash the Karonda thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Take a blender or food processor and add the Karonda, chopped coriander leaves, green chilies, garlic cloves, and salt.
Blend all the ingredients together until you obtain a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times to ensure that everything is well incorporated.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning as per your preference. If you find it too tangy, you can add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Once the chutney reaches the desired consistency and taste, transfer it to a clean, airtight jar or container. The Karonde ki Chutney is now ready to be served as a side dish. It pairs well with various Indian snacks, such as samosas, pakoras, or even as a spread for sandwiches.
Store any remaining chutney in the refrigerator for up to a week. Remember to use a clean, dry spoon each time you take out the chutney to maintain its freshness. Enjoy your homemade Karonde ki Chutney with your favorite snacks or meals!
