Dear Friends,

Happy Mother day to all!

I want to dedicate this dish to my mom. She is the biggest inspiration in my cooking style. She taught me to cook healthy and tasty food without spending too much time in the kitchen. Love you mom

This chutney goes with many South Indian dishes. You can freeze it and use it anytime you make any South Indian dish, it saves time when it is needed.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: Less than 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Beginning
1 cup chana dal
1/4 cup urad dal

Grinding
2 cup chopped coriander leave with stems
2-3 garlic cloves
5-6 green chilies
1 inch cube of ginger
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt

Tempering
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
5-7 curry leaves
1 pinch asafoetida
Oil

Procedure:

1. In pan, roast chana dal and urad dal together with 2-3 drop of oil until it is golden brown. It will take around 5 minutes on low heat. Soak these dal in water for 4-5 hours.

2. In a mixer grind soaked dal, coriander leaves, garlic, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, lemon juice and salt to a fine paste. Add little water if needed.

3. In a small pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil on low heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, urad dal. When mustard seeds sputter, add curry leaves and asafoetida. Add this mixture to chutney immediately.

4. Mix 1-2 tbsp of yogurt in chutney before serving. Don’t add yogurt if you are freezing the chutney for later use. I pull out chutney from freezer few minutes before serving and then add the yogurt. It goes well with all the South Indian dishes.

Try this very easy to make chutney which is ready in few minutes using the ingredients from your pantry.

Also let me know if you have any questions regarding this chutney.
