Notes

1.For a sour taste it is better to make the chutney with red stem leaves.
2.Adding red chilli powder can help in reducing the sour taste.
3.Do not add water, onion and tomatoes if the chutney is used to store for few days and just cook the gongura with spices, then blend and give the tempering...
