I love dips in all the forms that they come in. Hummus, salsa, chutney and sauces. Come as they may, I believe they enhance the flavour and make for quite an enriching eating experience.
This is the recipe for the south indian coconut chutney which can be enjoyed with Sambar and dosa.
Ingredients:
1. Grated coconut
2. Roasted peanuts
3. Roasted chana dal
4. Curry leaves
5. Green chillies
6. Ginger
7. Curd
8. Black peppercorns (optional)
9. Salt
10. Oil
11. Cumin seeds
12. Asoefetida
13. Mustard seeds
Recipe:
Mix all contents in an electronic mixer and grind to get a smooth paste. Avoid putting curry leaves at this stage.
Top it with some curry leaves or temper with some oil, cumin, mustard seeds and asoefetida and keep aside to cool in a refrigerator or consume it right away!
P.S. – Mix in small batches if the size of your mixer is small to avoid leakage and to allow even blending.
Enjoy your chutney 🙂
