ABOUT Onion Coconut Chutney RECIPE

Scrumptious chutney that lingers on your taste buds. I love the spiciness of this chutney with bland dishes like dosa or idli. It hardly takes time to make this Chutney if all prep things are in place. Keeping it thick or thin is personal choice.

2 onions chopped
3/4 cup fresh grated coconut
3 green chilies chopped
1 branch curry leaves
1 tbsp Chana (Bengal) dal

2-3 dry red chilies
Dash of hing (asafoedita)
1 marble-sized tamarind

Instructions

Wash dals and drain water.
Soak tamarind in warm water and squeeze out the pulp.

Add green chilies and stir fry for few seconds.
Add onions and stir fry till they turn pink and soft.
Switch off gas and cool the mixture.
Blend the mixture along with coconut, tamarind, jaggery, and salt. Add little water to get a smooth puree. Remove to a bowl.
