Coconut Chutney is served as a side dish for a lot of Indian snacks and breakfast items. It can be mild to extra hot depending on the individual preference. This recipe is from South India.
Ingredients
- Fresh coconut - 1 cup finely grated
- Green hot chili peppers - 6 to 8
- Tamarind paste - ½ tsp
- Cilantro - 1 Tbs, chopped
- Ginger paste, 1 tsp
- Channa dal - 1½ Tbs
- Salt - to taste
Seasoning:
- Mustard seed - ½ tsp
- Curry leaves - 3-4, chopped
- Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
- Oil - ½ tsp
Procedure
- Dry roast channa dal until browned and allow it to cool.
- Grind all the ingredients in a blender with as little water as possible. For best results the final consistency must be some where between coarse and paste.
