In a pan, add a tablespoon of oil.
Add slit green chillies, cumin seeds, washed and cleaned dry tamarind pieces along with the red sorrel leaves.

Relish this tangy, delicious chutney with plain boiled rice and ghee. I must say that there is no better comfort food on earth as this. Try it to believe it.
A super duper comfort food of all times, this chutney in Hyderabad is a rage in Winters. Come this Season and it is made in every other home in the City. Winter is a time to celebrate with fresh green vegetables and fruits that flood the markets. This one can be stored in the refrigerator for a week and if you want to store it for a longer time, then make sure to dry the leaves thoroughly before making the chutney. This way it lasts for months and must always be kept in a refrigerator.
