Roast-ground coconut chutney

Author : Sri      Blog :Srininomics      Date: 7/13/2012 6:54:00 PM



This is a simple versatile chutney that I have started to make whenever I get a chance (read as the dishes which can be served with chutneys as an accompaniment instead of sabjis). Chutneys are essentially side dishes / accompaniments for breakfast items / snacks. They go really well with idlis, dosas, upmas, uthappas, etc, and there exist (literally) innumerable versions of chutneys. Literally...firstly because, nobody (at least I couldn't find anybody yet) has really tried to make an exhaustive list of chutneys..and secondly because even a standard chutney will have a number of variations in its preparation as almost every household (or rather every cook/chef) will have and add their own style and variations while preparing (and sometimes totally transforming) this simple side dish.

Roast-ground coconut chutney

Description:  Roast-ground chutney has a wholesome coconutty - lentilly - oniony taste. It is really quick to whip up and can dance pretty well with most dishes that you might want to pair up this chutney with. Traditionally, coconut chutneys are used as accompaniments for breakfast items like idlis / dosas / upma/ uthappa/ etc.

Preparation time: Approx 5 minutes



Ingredients:
  • 2 small onions - sliced into big pieces [optional]
  • 1/4 cup chana dal (gram lentils)
  • grated coconuts (1/2 cup)
  • 6-8 green chillies
  • curry leaves
  • Oil 
  • Water
  • mustard seeds
  • salt to taste
Steps:
  1. Roast the chana dal and black pepper seeds in a tiny bit of oil, till the chana starts turning slightly brown. This should take less than a minute. Once done, remove the chana and keep aside to cool.
  2. Roast the onion, coconut and chillies in a teeny tiny bit of oil, for about 30 seconds. Keep aside to cool. 
  3. Wet grind the coconut, onions, curry leaves, chillies and chana dal. Add water and salt as required. 
  4.  Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, and splutter mustard seeds. Add this to the ground chutney paste.
