Coconut Chutney
Its been a while since i have been to kitchen, as i was roaming around the country for a while, but now back to my favourite place my own kitchen, this time with some south indian touch :)
Ingredients :
Grated fresh coconut - 1/2 cup
Roasted gram - 1/2 cup
Green Chilli - 5-6
Tamarind - small one
Salt - to taste
Asafoetida (hing) - small pinch
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - 2 springs
Red chilli - 1-2
Method :
Soak tamarind in little water for 10 minutes
Put coconut, green chilli, roasted gram, tamarind pulp, salt, asafoetida in a mixer and grind to make a coarse paste.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil, add mustard seeds and allow it to splutter, then mix curry leaves and broken red chilli in to oil
Pour it over the chutney
Mix it well and serve it with Idli, dosa, vada, etc
My version of coconut chutney : add some coriander and mint leaves while grinding, it will add an extra aroma and tangy flavour to chutney :)
Try it happy cooking :)
