pomegranate chutney or anardana ki chutney

dry pomegrante chutney

here is a spicy and tangy recipe of pomegranate chutney.

this is another of those quick and easy chutney recipes and can be made within 15 minutes.

this chutney is made with dry pomegranate seeds also called as anardana. these seeds have a faint sweetness and a tang to them. in india we use them basically as souring agents in curry recipes and even in stuffed parathas.  you can even add them to your salads. they add a good dose of flavor and taste to any dish.

you can buy anardana from a good grocery store. you will get a difference in the textures while buying. look out for those which have a soft bite. i generally use anardana when i can get them in aloo paratha, aloo sabzi, punjabi chole, raita and salads.

along with anardana, onions, green chilies, coriander and mint are also added in the chutney. i have also added some sugar in this chutney but addition of sugar is optional. however, adding sugar does give a punch to the chutney.

the chutney would be a good accompaniment or a dip with with pakoras, fritters, samosa or tandoori snacks or grilled snacks. they would also be great with grilled veggies or fruits. i served the pomegranate chutney with gobi pakoras. if stored in fridge then the chutney stays well for 3-4 days.
