Amrud ki Chatni or Guava Chatni
This post is also available in: हिन्दी
You have heard of the mint and coriander chutney, coconut chutney(nariyal chutney) and many more other types of chutney. But you haven’t heard of the guava chutney. It is also called “Amrud ki chatni” in hindi language.
This version of amrud ki chatni is my own discovered recipe. I was aware of the guava chutney but haven’t tasted it.
I love to have raw guava (amrud). Once I thought I should try it with coriander. This thought is the discovery of this recipe.
Guava chutney is a little sweet, sour and spicy. It is prepared in very less time. Most of the ingredients are available at home. So, do not let keep your guava in the kitchen. Use it and make this delicious chutney with it.
It adds raw flavours to your meal. One of the specialties is that you can increase or decrease the number of ingredients and add a few more ingredients also.
Guava or amrud is a very famous fruit in India as well as other Asian countries and western countries. It is easily available in all seasons.
It is also used in guava jam, guava ice cream and many other puddings and pies.
Tips for making guava chutney or Amrud ki chatni
Use the little raw guava (amrud) for it. It will add a little sour taste to it.
Do not over grind the chutney otherwise, it will become a very thin paste. And due to the heating, it caused by moving of blade. It will cook the guava and coriander. And the taste will not be as good.
