Curry leaves chutney recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Breakfast- sides
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Serves: 4

Ingredients
Coconut, scrapped - 1/2 cup

Urad dal - 1 tblsp

Curry leaves - 2 sprigs

Green chillies (or red) - 6

Tamarind - 1/8 tsp

Turmeric - 1/8 tsp

Salt and water - As needed

To temper
Oil - 2 tsp

Mustard - 3/4 tsp

Method
1. Roast urad dal in 1/2 tsp until golden brown. Add curry leaves, fry green chillies and
asafoetida after urad dal gets roasted. Grind urad dal, turmeric, asafoetida, coconut,
tamarind along with salt and water until smooth.

Notes

Adding turmeric gives a cool green colour. I use milk while grinding if the coconut is not
fresh, that also adds for getting this cool green. Try this for any green chutney.
You can replace urad dal with channa dal and green chilli with red chilli too...
