Green Chutney
Amli Chutney

Hawaiian or plain dinner
rolls

masala according to instructions
- Take a dip dish and make layer of spicy potatoes and
add a layer of peanuts, sev, cilantro and pomegranates
- Cut the dinner role in half and toast it a little bit
on a hot griddle the same way you toast the burger buns (you can use a T
Sp. of oil if you prefer)

masala potatoes.

onions.

To make Green Chutney
- Grind a bunch of cilantro, 2-3
green peppers, ginger (about 1 inch of piece), salt, 1 T Sp.
Turmeric, juice of 1 lemon, 1 Tb Sp. Coriander-cumin (dhana-jeeru) powder
and 3-4 cloves of garlic(optional) in a food processor or a mixer.
You can add water as desired to make it smoother.
To make Amli Chutney
- Soak amli in water for about half an hour. Boil
the amli with water for about 10 minutes and add Gud (jaggery) to the
water after turning the heat off. Jaggery will melt in the hot water, when
it cools down squash the water out of amli and discard the remaining
pieces of amli. Add little salt, dhana-jeeru powder, a T Sp. of red chili
powder and mix well. (Note- Jaggery makes the sauce little salty so you
may not need to add salt if you prefer less salty food.)
To make Chili- Garlic
Paste
- Crush about 4-5 garlic cloves with 2 TB Sp. red chili
powder in a mortar.
