Green Chutney
This green chutney is made from all fresh ingredients and tastes very good as sandwich spread. The hard core Puneites will be able to relate this taste to that of the chutney in the most familiar and famed Marzorin sandwiches. Even I had always tried to peep in the Marzorin kitchen to find the secret of this chutney. They had these nauwari(9 yard sari) clad women grinding huge amounts of this chutney on flat grinding stones and am sure that this was the secret. My recipe is quite close to the chutney as found in the vegetable sandwiches of Marzorin.
I used to pack these vegetable sandwiches for my husband when we were posted in Delhi. His colleague would literally pounce and run away with the tiffin. The colleague's wife took the recipe from me and later complained that it did not turn out to be as tasty, she had the grouse that I had not disclosed some secret ingredient to her. Friends, I have experimented a lot to arrive at this particular recipe. It is a lot like my mother used to make. The tatses might be varying due to variations in adding salt, sugar, lemon juice or green chillies. My mother loved spice so she added more of chillies. I like sweet sour taste, so I add combo of sugar and lemon juice. The Marzorin chutney is a more sweeter version. You can suit your taste buds and make variations too.
