Easy Chutney
Ground fresh and served immediately, this chutney hits all the right notes — heat from the chillies, richness from coconut, and a sharp tang that cuts through rich curries and fried foods.
Ingredientsfor 5 servings
- 1/2 Of Coconut
- 1 tsp Red chilly powder
- 4 nos Shallots (Kunjulli)
- Salt, to taste
- Oil, to taste
- For Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
- 3 nos Shallots diced — for seasoning
- 7 Leaves Curry leaves – 6
- 5 nos Dry red chillies
Preparation
Step 1
In a mixer take coconut, 4 shallots, 1 tsp red chilly powder and salt. Spin once only.
Step 2
Set a pan over medium heat and pour in the oil and let the mustard seeds crackle and fry shallots, dry red chillies and curry leaves.
Step 3
Add the ground coconut mixture to this and cook for a few seconds. Serve hot.
Tip
Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
