CHUTNEY PUDI

This is another variety of chutney pudi: Karnataka Style!




INGREDIENTS

1 cup chana dal / bengal gram dal
1 cup udada dal / black gram dal
1 cup copra / dry coconut grated
1/2 cup curry leaves (optional)
1/2 tsp hing / asafoetida
10-12 red chillies
a small amount of tamarind about a tsp
a small lump of jaggery/gur
salt to taste


METHOD


  • Dry roast the daals separately on a slow flame till light brown .
  • At this point you will get an aroma of the roasted dal.
  • Keep the tamarind near the flame while you roast the daals so that it becomes dry and crisp and can be easily ground.
  • In about half a tsp of oil fry the hing and red chillies.
  • Fry the curry leaves in about a tsp of oil.
  • Roast the copra separately and keep aside.
  • Mix all the ingredients and grind to a coarse powder on cooling. 
  • Powder the copra separately and then mix with the above mixture and blend well.
  • Store in an air tight container.
  • It stays fresh for almost a month.
  • This can be served with dosas and idlis.
