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 :)
