This is a quick and easy chutney that can be put together in matter of minutes. This chutney goes well with idli, dosa, ven pongal and even goli baji. I made the chutney to serve with goli baje or Mangalore bajji. Most of the online sources suggested serving goli bajji with coconut chutney and this is the quickest chutney I could make.
This is lot similar to the this coconut chutney minus the coriander leaves and ginger. Ginger in this chutney is optional but adding it would enhance the flavor.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sliced Coconut (I used frozen sliced coconut)
- ⅙ cup Dalia or Putnalu or Fried Gram Dal
- ½” Ginger piece (opt. and I did not use it)
- 2 Green Chilies (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp. Salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ - 1 tsp. Tamarind Paste (I used 1 tsp. homemade paste and this paste has some salt in it)
Tempering:
- 1 tsp. Oil
- ¼ tsp. Cumin Seeds
- ¼ tsp. Mustard Seeds
- 2 Curry Leaves
- Pinch of Turmeric
Preparation:
- Take coconut, dalia, ginger if using, green chilies, salt, tamarind in a blender jar and grind to paste. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Heat oil in a pan for tempering.
- When oil is hot, add the tempering ingredients except turmeric. When the seeds splutter, add turmeric, turn off the heat.
- Pour it over ground coconut paste.
- Serve with idli, dosa, vada or goli baje.
