Guava is a Fruit which I had Always cherished to have it as a whole! But In form of chutney???
When I saw this chutney post by +Yes Cook I was really surprised. And Since then I wanted to try. Until now! I was so much skeptical about the taste. I knew guava only as fruit and maximum what I had tasted from my frnd was amrood ki sabzi which was really tasty, but sadly my family dint like it. Its almost 10yrs now and I never turned back to making it again.
Mom keeps getting Guava So this Time I had saved to prepare chutney! Lets make an experiment! Here is how it went!!
Ingredients:
Guava - 1 and half Large size
Green Chillies - 3
Coriander Leaves - 2-3 tbsp
Mint Leaves - Few : 1tbsp
Ginger - 1/2 inch or lil more
Lemon Juice - As needed
Salt - As per taste
Sugar - 1tsp
- Blend in all the above shown ingredients into a blender, for 2 mins till fine paste.
- Adjust salt, sugar and lemon juice accordingly, Blend again and Done!
It goes too well with bland main foods like Chapati/ Paratha / Idly / Dosa and most exciting part was Serving it as bread spread!!
When I 1st saw the chutney I was really shocked to see how lovely outstanding fresh green color it gave. It was a kind of instant love / love at 1st sight :P lolzz
Notes :
- I used a guava which was turning yellow, gud for smooth grinding.
- You may find some seeds here n there in chutney but it dosent matter honestly
- You can adjust , salt, sugar and lemon at any stage.
- I took 1 large guava 1st and 1inch long ginger, in which ginger gave very strong displeasing taste, So i had to adjust it by adding extra 1/2 guava to adjust the flavor of whole thing. So ive written 1/2 inch ginger in the ingredient list
- I had a slice of bread which I was eating while making chutney, thats when I tried a lil and loves the taste with white bread! yummm!! Do try....
Impression:
It was spicy when I taste just like that, But a great combo as a dip when eaten along with food!!
We had some guests and mom was refusing to take this chutney :P When I insisted this had gone to the dastar too and guest took it thinking curry leaves chutney, until they felt the taste is different and asked my mom about it!
They all loved it!! Which made me too happy when I saw the saucer almost empty, just a spoonful or more left which me and my bro gulped down with bread slices :D
With the whole combo of spiciness sweet and tang I feel this would also make a great dip to any kind of snacks!!
Just go ahead making this and explore a new taste if u hadn't :)
