Chutney powder is one of the very traditional and authentic recipe. It is a very famous side dish in South India. Chutney powder called chutney pudi, also called gunpowder. It is one of the vegan and gluten free recipe. This recipe doesn’t need oil.
Chutney powder is a different combination to dosa’s or hot rice. I loved the chutney powder combination with hot white and ghee, idli, rotis and so on. Chutney pudi love is never ending for me for dishes. It is a time saver and a good combination with any dish. For working women on weekends this chutney pudi is enjoyable with this hurry life.
I learnt this recipe from my grandmother and mother. They follow this procedure while doing authentic chutney pudi. Other than this chutney pudi we made several types of chutney pudi. This recipe of chutney pudi is very simple and easy to prepare. No much ingredients required and for the recipe less procedures to be done.
For this chutney pudi we need to roast all the ingredients separately. Or else one spice may become dark, but some ingredients will not be done properly. With a little patience we need to roast one ingredient at a time. Adding a little jaggery does not become sweet, it will enhance the taste of chutney pudi. Tamarind and salt will balance the spiciness. Red chilly can adjust with your spicy taste. Once roasted ingredients are cool down, take a dry mixer jar and grind until it becomes a powder texture.
Once it forms like powder, transfer the chutney powder to an airtight container. You can store this chutney pudi or gunpowder up to 15 days at room temperature. Later you can store more days in the refrigerator. While using chutney pudi use a dry spoon for more shelf life. Instead of plastic bottles suggesting glass jars to keep the chutney pudi.
If you do not have dried coconut you can roast the normal coconut or you can keep the normal coconut in the sun dry for 2 to 3 days. Curry leaves must be roasted properly, after roasting it should not contain any moisture in it. If moisture exists the chutney pudi lifespan will become shorter. Before grinding ingredients it must be cool otherwise due to heat, chutney pudi becomes moist.
