Directions to make Coconut Chutney in steps

Steps

  • Take grated coconut, ginger, green chili, roasted chana dal, salt and 2-3 tablespoons of water together in small spice grinder and grind to make a fine paste. (If you want to use coconut powder instead of grated coconut, then use warm water to make the paste. )
  • If you are not using store bought roasted chana ,you can prepare it yourself also. Take tablespoon of chana dal, wash and soak in some water for 30 minutes. Now rinse them and spread them on a paper towel so that paper towel soaks the water till the chana dal becomes dry.
  • Now heat a non stick pan and dry roast the dal for 5 10 minutes. Now take a small pan for seasoning the spices and heat the vegetable oil in it.
  • When the oil is hot enough, simmer the heat and add one by one, whole chilies, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and hing, and cook till they splatter.
  • Wait for 5 10 seconds and the seasoned spices are prepared. Now pour the seasoned over the chutney.
  • Before serving just mix the chutney and serve.
Serve this spicy chutney with Dosa, Idli or Vadas.
This chutney should be consumed fresh or it will be rotten.
