Sukat Chi Chatni is a rustic and intensely flavorful Maharashtrian coastal dry chutney made from tiny dried shrimp (Sukat). This delicacy features sun-dried shrimp roasted with onions, garlic, and a bold Malvani spice blend to create a crunchy, pungent accompaniment. It originated in the Konkan fishing communities as a way to preserve seafood and add a powerful savory punch to simple meals. The texture is intentionally coarse and crispy, with a deep umami profile balanced by the sweetness of sautéed onions. Best served hot with Bhakri or as a side to simple Dal-Rice for an authentic coastal experience.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Always roast the sukat on medium-low heat to achieve a uniform crunch without burning.
  • The addition of kokum instead of tamarind provides an even more authentic coastal tangy lift.
  • Ensure onions are chopped very fine to meld seamlessly with the tiny shrimp texture.
  • Using peanut oil for frying provides the absolute secret to achieving superior nutty depth in this chutney.
