Simple Pounded Chutneys
| Travel cooking / cooking with basic equipment While planning on a All India trip on my motorbike, I started collecting /developing recipes which can be prepared on the road / hotel room / train / while camping or anywhere with the most basic equipment. A simple pestle and mortar, a knife and a grater is all you need to prepare a variety of chutneys listed here. These make ideal recipes for those with no kitchen / students living in hostels. 5 minutes of pounding and patience is all you need to cook these. Pounded chutneys taste much better than the ones blended in a blender. This is because a high speed blender heats up and partially cooks the food. The difference in taste is dramatic in coconut chutneys. A pestle and mortar is also a great way to grind up very small quantities of spices. The following recipes are listed in this cookbook : 1.: Mint / Cilantro / Tamarind leaves chutney. 2.: Mango chutney. 3.: Pottukadalai Chutney 4.: Groundnut / Sesame / Cashew chutney. 5.: Coconut chutney. 6.: Radish Chutney 7.: Shallots /Onion / Garlic chutney 8.: Baby Tamarind pod chutney 9.: Grilled vegetable bharta |

Cooking is fun - Duplication is a pain !
"It is extraordinary to me that the idea of creating thousands of recipes by mixing building blocks takes immediately to people or it doesn’t take at all. .... If it doesn’t grab a person right away, ... you can talk to him for years and show him demos, and it doesn’t make any difference. They just don’t seem able to grasp the concept, simple as it is". ( Thanks Warren Buffett !)

"Recipe purity is no different from racial purity or linguistic purity. It just does not exist. Cuisines are alive and change all the time. What is traditional today was esoteric just a few decades back. So being a 'foodist' is as bad as being a racist !
