Chutney Ready Mix Essential Travel Recipe – 2 Ways | Instant Chutney Mix Powder with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Chutney recipes are perhaps one of the essential important yet underrated recipes from Indian cuisine. Generally, it is prepared with fresh ingredients like herbs, and coconut chilies, but these fresh ingredients may not be available all the time. To solve this problem, there are some instant recipes and some instant chutney premix recipes prepared in minutes.
During my college days or in other words during those days when I wasn’t that much active in cooking, I always preferred freshly cooked meals. I never use to consider the ready mix or instant recipes. Well, things have changed now and I really appreciate and understand the requirements for such recipes. Especially for those who live in a hostel or some other temporary arrangements, instant or pre-mix recipes play a pivotal role. Having said that, I am not a huge fan of this instant pre-mix chutney recipe and only recommend this in certain unavoidable situations. This is because the ingredients used in this recipe like coconut or peanuts or even chilies give the best result when it is used freshly. Yet if you are not so particular with your chutney recipes or struggle with your morning schedule, this recipe is a perfect option. Do try this recipe, if not both, and let me know your thoughts.
Furthermore, some additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the Chutney Ready Mix Essential Travel Recipe. Firstly the shelf life of this premix recipe is directly proportional to the amount you spend roasting the ingredients. It has to be roasted in a low to medium flame and removes all moisture in it. Any small amount of moisture would spoil the taste, flavor, and smell of this recipe. Secondly, for the coconut chutney, I have used desiccated coconut which is already dried and moisture-free. If you do not have access to it, you may use dry kopra. Lastly, the instant premix has to be prepared with hot boiling water and served when it comes down to room temperature.
