Step-by-Step Preparation
- Set a completely dry heavy skillet, grinder, and jar beside the stove for Sesame Coriander Dry Chutney; wipe away all moisture and warm the skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
- Toast sesame, coriander, cumin, and coconut separately. Give the spices about 30 seconds before adding the larger pieces, then continue over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, moving the pan often, until the raw aroma is gone.
- Cool everything and pulse to a crumbly dry chutney. Spread the warm components on a plate for 8 minutes, remove any husks, and combine them only when no heat remains.
- Mix in salt and store the powder away from steam. Work with the heat off for 1 minute, lifting from the bottom until the color and texture are even throughout.
- Keep Sesame Coriander Dry Chutney in a cool, dry cupboard; use a clean, dry spoon and close the labeled jar immediately after each serving.
