Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and soak pomegranate seeds in water for 15-20 minutes. Separate mint leaves from stems (use only leaves if stems are soft). Use coriander leaves and soft stems. Chop green chilies, green garlic, onions, and tomatoes separately.
- Crush Pomegranate Seeds: Crush the soaked pomegranate seeds in a mortar or blender, reserving the soaking water.
- Prepare Mint and Coriander: Pound or crush mint leaves and coriander leaves together until they release their flavors but are not too finely ground.
- Combine Ingredients: Add crushed pomegranate seeds, green garlic, green chilies, chopped onions, and tomatoes to the mint and coriander mixture.
- Season the Chutney: Add black salt, red chili powder, amchur powder, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add Water and Adjust Consistency: Add about 2 tablespoons of the reserved pomegranate soaking water to the chutney to adjust the consistency and enhance the sweet and sour flavor.
- Serve: Serve the chutney with roti or as a condiment. It can be eaten alone or with other dishes.
