Hi All,
This new simple recipe is straight from my MIL's kitchen. We had just come from our 1 week vacation from California and this one was a quick one and delicious too. Perfect for dosas and Idli's . So, here it goes. It has a couple of interesting ingredients ....
COCONUT CHUTNEY
INGREDIENTS
COCONUT: 1 Cup shredded
RED CHILLI: 2-3
TAMARIND: A small ball ( very small)
CHANNA DAL: 2 Tbsp
SALT as required
FOR TADKA
COCONUT OIL: 1 Tsp
MUSTARD SEEDS: 1/2 Tsp
URAD DAL: 1/2 Tsp
CURRY LEAVES FOR GARNISH
MAKING
Dry roast the Channa dal until it turns light brown and set aside. Grind the Coconut, Red chilli, Tamarind, Dry roasted Channa dal with Salt into a nice paste-like consistency. For Tadka, pour coconut oil and once heated, add the mustard seeds and Urad dal. Once the mustard seeds start spluttering, add it to the chutney. Garnish it with fresh Curry leaves and delicious chutney is ready to serve.
TIPS
You could also use Daliya ( Pottu Kadalai) 1-2 Tsp instead of Channa Dal. You don't have to dry roast it, just add it with the rest of the ingredients to grind.
