How to Make Kashmiri Onion Chutney Gand Chetin

  1. Gently mix 1 tablespoon of salt with 2 cups of finely chopped shallots (or red onions). Set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. Thoroughly wash the shallot mixture under cold water, ensuring all the salt is rinsed away. Drain completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the drained shallots, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2-4 tablespoons Kashmiri chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon ginger paste, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds, and 1/4 cup water. Mix well.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer for a deeper flavor) before serving. Enjoy!
  5. For a smoother chutney, blend the mixture in a food processor until it reaches your desired consistency.
