Guava Chutney

This post is dedicated to my blog reader and good friend, Shwetha as this is her recipe. It was she who gave me the idea of using guavas in curries & chutney after reading my post on ‘Passion fruit – Guava – Chocolate cupcake’. Soon, I have tried this chutney recipe and it was really tasty. The natural sweetness of the guava fruit makes ‘mouth-watering chutney’ when combined with spices, coconut & tamarind. Thanks Shwetha!

Guava pieces – ¼ cup, matured but unripe guava is best to use 
Grated coconut – ¼ cup

Tamarind pulp – ¼ tsp
Salt – to taste
Coconut oil – 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - ½ tsp

Method:
  • Chop outer portion of Guava roughly removing most of the seeds. Few seeds are fine to be added.
