Ramadhaan Kareem

Ramadhaan Kareem  

To all my Muslim readers I wish you all a wonderful, physical and spiritually cleansing month.

 

If your fridges and freezers are not yet filled to the brim with savouries and chutneys here is one more recipe. This one is a special one, my mom’s famous green coriander chutney that of course has been SoK’ed. It’s lovely for dipping the samoosas and pies and has the right combination of spicy and sweet

 

Date Coriander Chutney:

½ packet dates

3 bunches green dhania

 14 green chillies (add more or less to suit your heat levels)

½ tsp sultanas

½ cup ground almonds

1 cup coconut

½ cup sesame seeds

1 tbl curry leaves (limri)

4 cloves garlic

 White spirit vinegar

 

Clean the dhania well

Soak the dates in hot water and break up the lumps with a fork and beat till

Blitz all the ingredients together in your liquidizer with one cup of vinegar. Add more vinegar in a stream until you get a thick paste like consistency.

Pour into sterilized jars and store in the fridge.

Serve with samoosas and pies

 

 

 Variations:

You can mix this chutney with an equal part of mayonnaise for a different smoother less spicy flavour

I also use this chutney to spread on home made pancakes, top with shredded chicken and cheese, a dollop of sour cream and serve.
