Remarks

  • All ingredients must be dry and free from moisture.
  • Running Time duration: 90 seconds
  • When grinding a masala paste which contains dry and moist ingredients (Cumin, Coriander seeds, Dal, ginger, garlic, and green chillies), add the dry ingredients in the Chutney Jar first and powder them. Then add moist ingredients like green chillies, ginger, garlic, and a small quantity of water and grind to a paste.
  • Slice the ginger and peel garlic. Place them in the Chutney Jar. Use the Pulse to crush them, then add a small amount of water and grind to paste.
  • Lightly roast the poppy seeds and grind them to powder. Then add a little water and grind them to paste.

  • Place the ingredients in the Chutney Jar. Use the Pulse to crush them. Then add a little water and grind to paste.
  • If the recipe does not contain any thick ingredients like coconut or roasted grams, it is not necessary to add water.
