    Note:

    • Blend to a smooth paste. Smoother the consistency, the better the chutney tastes.
    • If you like the thick consistency of the chutney, add less water and vice versa.

    Storage

    • Store in the fridge for later use.
    • It can long last for about a week if stored properly.

    Variations

    You are free to experiment with ingredients. Some of the ideas you can follow as:

    • Coconut also makes a thick base for this chutney; try coconut next time.
    • You may substitute walnuts with peanuts, cashews or almonds and observe the difference!
    • Replacing the tamarind with tomato or lemon juice will give you another version of this carrot chutney.
    • If you prefer the sweet version, you may add a pinch of jaggery or gur to it. It enhances its taste as well as depth.

    How to serve?

    • The carrot chutney is best served with idli, dosa, rice, and cheela/ chilla.
    • When used as a spread on rolls, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, crackers etc., it’ll surely enhance their taste and flavour.

    Tips n tricks

    1. Always refrigerate the carrot chutney. If it’s too cold to serve, keep the required quantity at room temperature before serving.
    2. Add water a little at a time while blending the chutney mixture.
    3. Make use of rock salt if you have, as this gives a better taste.
    4. If you don’t have cumin seeds, you can replace them with cumin powder.
