Key Questions Answered
To make Himachali apple chutney, you will need 2 large apples, 1 to 2 green chillies, a small piece of ginger, a little fresh coriander, 1 tsp roasted cumin seeds, half tsp red chilli powder, half tsp black salt, white salt to taste, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp sugar or jaggery, and 1 tsp mustard oil.
First, wash, peel, and core the apples before cutting them into small pieces along with roughly chopped green chillies, ginger, and fresh coriander. Place all the chopped ingredients, spices, and sugar or jaggery into a mixer jar and grind them slightly coarse without water or with just a very little water to retain the apple's texture.
This Himachali-style chutney can be served with hot parathas, puris, plain rotis, dal-chawal, rajma-chawal, or even evening snacks like pakoras and kachoris for a unique flavor.
