Dry Curry Leaves Chutney
Give your meals a flavourful upgrade with this dry curry leaves chutney that is made with toasted lentils, garlic, sesame, and tangy tamarind. Nutritious, bold, and long-lasting, it’s the perfect sidekick for rice, dosas, or wraps.
Are you bored of the same old dhaniya-pudina chutney? Give your tastebuds a break and try something richer, spicier, and that is also a good blend of superfoods. With this curry leaves chutney- the sharpness of garlic, the tang of tamarind, and the hero (crisp, roasted curry leaves) come together in a coarse, dry chutney that’s packed with flavour and is incredibly versatile. Spoon it over hot rice with ghee, dust it on dosas, roll it into rotis, or sprinkle it inside sandwiches for a bold twist.
What makes this chutney truly special is its shelf life and nutritional punch. Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and known for supporting digestion, hair health, and iron absorption. The addition of garlic, sesame, and lentils amps up the protein and immunity-boosting benefits, making it more than just a side dish.

Easy Steps
01Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan. Add urad dal, chana dal, cumin, coriander seeds, red chillies and sesame seeds. Roast on medium flame till the dals turn golden brown and aromatic. Transfer to a plate and let them cool.
02In the same pan, add a few drops of oil and sauté garlic cloves until golden and slightly crisp. Set aside.
03Add the curry leaves to the pan. Dry roast them on low flame until they become crisp and all moisture evaporates. This step is key to preserving the powder for longer.
04Let all roasted ingredients cool down to room temperature to avoid moisture while grinding.
05Add all ingredients (roasted dals, spices, garlic, curry leaves, tamarind, and salt) to a blender or mixer jar. Grind dry (without water) into a slightly coarse powder. Make sure it’s dry for better shelf life.
06Store the chutney powder in an airtight container and refrigerate. It stays fresh and flavourful for 15–20 days in the fridge. Always use a dry spoon to maintain shelf life.
Serving Suggestions:
- Mix with hot rice and ghee for a comforting meal.
- Sprinkle over idlis, dosas, or upma.
- Use as a spice layer in sandwiches or wraps.
- Pairs beautifully with curd rice or even parathas.
