Notes
- When it comes to preparing Bengali chutneys, I have a preference for mustard oil. Of course, you can substitute it with neutral oils, but mustard oil brings not only a sharpness but also its distinctive taste when incorporated into chutneys or pickles.
- Achari Masala is completely optional, however, gives extra flavor to the Tomato Amsotto Khejur er Chutney.
