Tamarind Chutney & Green Chutney

              

Hello my foodie friends. Hope you all are enjoying the transition from Winter to Spring. Now the time has come when we can relish all the summer coolers and drinks which we were not able to do till now. We can also relish on chaat and bhel puris but keeping the hygiene factor in mind.

If you're too conscious about health then you can still enjoy the chaat and bhel puris by making them at home. In that way your inner self will be satisfied that whatever you feed your family is 100% homemade and hygenic. One of the important ingredients while making any kind of chaat is chutney.

You can make this chutney in advance if you have any party at home and you're planning to make chaat as an appetizer.

In this post I’ll be sharing 2 types of chutneys Tamarind Chutney and Green Chutney which can be used as an accompaniment with many street foods and also as a side dish.

So without wasting any time let’s jump right into recipe.

Papdi Chaat

 

I'm a die hard fan of Indian Chaat or Indian Street Food and you? I know nobody can say "NO" to these mouth-watering dishes whether it's a child or an adult we all love them equally.  There are so many options in this genre, starting from Pani Puri, Bhel Puri, Dahi Puri, Vada Pav, Egg rolls, Chow mein, Dahi Vada to Papdi Chaat: we just love all of them. 

The exact place to enjoy the taste of any "Indian Street Food" is on the Indian Streets. But, sometimes the health conscious soul inside me wakes up and forces me not to have these roadside chaat and all those alluring foodstuffs and the little child inside me gets disappointed. So, in order to make that child happy the foodie inside me gets up and tries to recreate the taste of Indian Street Food in my very own kitchen but in a hygienic way. As a result me and my soul both are happy.

Yesterday, I had a very serious craving for some Papdi Chaat and as usual I was not in the favor of having it from the roadside shops. So, I decided to make it at my home. Making "Papdi Chaat" at home is very simple but you need to do some prior preparations like boiling chickpeas and potatoes etc. The crunch of the Papdis, the tanginess of the yogurt and the sweetness of the tamarind chutney is simply irresistible. 

I know this recipe will make you drool. So, without any further ado let's begin with our recipe:
