Rinse the fresh cilantro thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Roughly chop the leaves and stems.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped cilantro, tamarind pulp, green chilies, garlic cloves, ginger, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, salt, and sugar.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water to help with blending and blend the mixture until smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the chutney and adjust salt, sugar, or tamarind for a perfect balance of flavors.
Once blended, transfer the chutney to a serving bowl and stir in the lemon juice to enhance the tanginess.
Serve fresh as a dip with snacks like samosas or pakoras, or use as a spread in wraps and sandwiches. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
