Kairi Ki Chutney Recipe: How To Make Kairi Ki Chutney
To make this chutney, first, take a fork and poke holes into the kairis. Put them on a wire mesh and roast them on a low flame until they become charred from the top and have a nice aroma. (Make sure to keep flipping them in between to allow them to cook from both sides.) Place the onions and garlic along with them and continue to roast.
Once done, transfer them to a plate and allow them to cool for some time. In the meanwhile, roast the red chilies. Now, gently remove the skin of the kairis, onions, and garlic, and cut them into small pieces. Place them on a sil batta and add salt, cumin powder, and red chilli powder. Grind them until smooth. (You can also use a grinder mixer if you do not have a traditional sil batta).
Next, add shredded coconut and grind again. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Kairi ki chutney is ready!
