PROCESS

1. Grind into a smooth paste items number 1 to 6 in a chutney jar of the mixie adding as little water as possible.
2.  Add Walnut kernels and grind again. This will change the colour of chutney into a lighter green and give it a good consistency.

USEFUL TIPS

1. Mixie jar may not be able  to handle all the items together. Therefore, first grind harder items like mango, garlic, chillies and salt. Then add Mint & Coriander leaves. Add Walnut in the end as it will help you manage the consistency of the chutney.
2. Mango can be substituted by lemon juice but the flavour of the two will be different.
3. f you do not like the strong flavour of garlic, don't put it or reduce the quantity.
