How To Make Kara Chutney Restaurant Style

A combination of tomatoes, shallots and dried chilies go into the making of kara chutney.  As a result the chutney we get is so vibrant, tangy and very spicy too.

Heat oil in a thick pan. Add dried red chilies, channa dal and fry well. Next add chopped onions and saute. Next add chopped tomatoes and saute well.  Remove the ingredients to a mixer jar. In the hot pan saute the tamarind piece for a minute. Add salt to taste and grind the ingredients to a smooth paste.

Variations with kara chutney recipe

  1. This chutney is especially popular in Saravan Bhavan hotels. To make saravana bhavan style kara chutney use 1 cup chopped normal onions instead of shallots.
  2. If you prefer a strong flavor you can also use 3-4 garlic pods.
  3. You can also add 2 green chilies along with red chilies.
  4. Tips For Making Best Kara Chutney Recipe

    This chutney is spicy and vibrant as it uses red chilies. I use kashmiri red chilies to retain the color and tame down the heat. If you prefer spicier chutney then you can also use regular dark and round dried red chilies.

    To make kara chutney recipe I suggest you use gingely oil/nallaennai. Gingely oil elevates the flavor and taste by leaps and bound. It is also very good for health. We also mix gingely oil with chutney while serving. It is mainly done to reduce the heat of chutney.

    Addition of tamarind gives a nice tang to the chutney, also helps in keeping the chutney well for more time.
