Prep Work:

Firstly, if you are using dry tamarind, soak it in hot water for it to soften.

Wash the green chillies and wipe them thoroughly so that there is no trace of water at all.

Cooking:

Put a frying pan on stove top over medium flame. Add oil (tbsp), and all the green chillies. Do not cover.

Let the chillies roast in the oil until their skin softens as shown. Transfer them to a blender. Let them cool.

Put the pan back on the stove, add the remaining oil and all ‘ingredients for tempering’.

Fry them by stirring, until the pulses turn golden brown, then switch off.

Grinding:

Put a ½ teaspoon of the tempering aside. Now transfer all the remaining tempering along with oil, into the same blender.

Squeeze and add the tamarind puree (not the water) too. 

Add all the coriander leaves. Grind all the items coarsely. 

Transfer the chutney into a serving bowl, top it with the ½ teaspoon of the tempering (which we kept aside)! Done!!!

Tips & Storage:

• Use any cooking oil but mustard oil works best of all.
• Fresh Green Chillies of any variety can be used for this recipe. Apart from that, fresh red chillies can also be used.
• Don’t worry if the chillies get a bit burnt while roasting, even then it does work well .
• Be careful while tempering, see that it does not burn.
• If you are using ready made tamarind paste use the same quantity as mentioned.
• Adjust the salt and tamarind quantities as per your taste.
• You could add quarter of curd or water for the chutney if you find it too spicy. Thus, the spice can be reduced.
• Storage: This, Green chilli chutney / Bajji Mirchi pachadi stays fresh up to a week at room temperature and up to 2-3 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.

Result:

• As this chutney itself is being made with Green Chillies , its obviously going to be more spicier than other chutneys/dips.
• Hence, the taste is spicy and tangy, expect it to be SUPER SPICY.
• We had this, Indian style Jalapeno chutney / Mirchi Pachadi as a dip along with Masala Vada / Lentil Masala Nuggets (Stove Top, Air Fryer, Oven Baked)
