    Recipe Introduction


    "This is a one really easy and incredibly tasty chutney. This is my mom's recipe and no one makes it better, honest :) Store the chutney in the refrigerator (for not longer than a day; after that it usually goes bad), unless using it immediately, since the coconut makes it very perishable."

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 large coconut, grated
    2 tablespoons bengal gram dal (split dried chickpeas) or channa dal (dried chickpeas)
    3 green chilies
    3/4 cup water
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon mustard seeds
    1 teaspoon split Urad Dal (split black gram)
    3 curry leaves

    Recipe



    1. In a small frying pan, take 1/2 tsp oil and fry the chickpeas till it turns slightly brown.
    2. After it cools, grind it with grated coconut, green chillies and salt in a mixer.
    3. Slowly add water while grinding.
    4. The consistency of the mixture should be akin to that of ketchup.
    5. Now, in the same frying pan, heat the remaining 1/2 tsp of oil, add the mustard seeds, split black gram and curry leaves.
    6. When the mustard sputters, add this to the ground coconut mixture.
    7. Serve this chutney with idlis or dosas.
