Notes

    • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This helps evenly roast the lentils and spices without burning them, ensuring a rich, balanced flavor.
    • Let everything cool before grinding: After roasting, allow the lentils and spices to cool completely. This prevents moisture buildup in the powder, which can affect its shelf life and texture.
    • Store it right: Transfer the chutney powder to an airtight container to keep it fresh and flavorful for longer.
    • Adjust salt to taste: Some prefer to add salt during preparation, while others adjust it later. Be mindful of how much salt you’re using since you would use it with ghee or sesame oil, or even as is.
    • If washing lentils, dry thoroughly: If you choose to wash the lentils before roasting, spread them out under the sun to dry completely. Roasting damp lentils can lead to uneven cooking and could spoil the powder.
