Coconut Chutney

A long pending blog from my side. Finally today I got some free time to write about one of the best chutney's in the world. The south Indian 'Coconut Chutney'. :) 

I haven't made this totally as a South Indian would do, and have added a little flavor from my own kitchen ;)

Ingredients: 
1 cup of coconut powder
1 large tablespoon roasted gram
Salt - 2-3 tea spoons
Curry Leaves - 10
Fresh Coriander (1 large table spoon) - Optional
Mustard Seeds - 2 tea spoons
Cooking Oil - 2 tea spoons
Water - 3/4 glass

Method: 
Take the coconut powder, roasted gram, curry leaves, coriander (optional) and water in a mixture/grinder and grind the chutney to a smooth consistency. You can choose to increase or decrease the water content as per your liking, however I try to make the paste neither too thick nor too thin. 

Now take a pan and heat the oil. When the oil is heated, add the mustard seeds. When they splutter add few more curry leaves, and finely add the chutney to it. There is no need to heat the chutney, so at this step put down the flame. 

Mix the chutney well, and transfer to a ceramic bowl. Refrigerate for 30 min, and serve with south Indian dishes like Dosa, Uttapam or Idlis :)
