Chutney Powder
Chutney Powder Ingredients:
- Bengal Gram Dal or Chana dal – 1 cup
- Urad dal / White Lenthils – 1 cup
- Red chillies – 15
- Curry leaves – 1/2 cup
- Jaggery – 1/2 tsp
- Tamarind – 1 lemon size
- Grated Dry coconut – 3/4 cup
- Salt to taste
- Sunflower Oil – 5 tsp
- Mustard – 1/2 tsp
- Hing (Asafetida) – 2 pinch
How to Prepare:
Fry the chana gram dal and urad dal separately (without adding oil) till it turns golden in color. Pour the fried dals out from their frying pans into a vessel and keep it aside.
Pour 3 tsp of oil to a pan, add curry leaves (washed and drained) and red chillies. Fry until the chillies start to change color. Then add dals fried above to it along with Salt, Jaggery and Tamarind. Grind it all in a mixer grinder till the mixture is powdered. Add desiccated grated coconut to this powder and grind it once more to help coconut to blend well to form the chutney powder.
Oggarane or Tempering: Heat remaining oil in another pan, add mustard seeds to the heated oil. Once mustard seeds splutter, add asafetida (Hing or Asafoetida) to it. Remove from the flame, add and mix this with the chutney powder.
Chutney powder with a little curd can be had with roti, paratha or chapati. There are many who like this powder a lot and actually prefer it over regular freshly made coconut chutney.
When you are not able to prepare chutney for dosa or idly, one can have them with chutney powder mixed with ghee or coconut oil.
