Yield: 1 cup
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Easy to make flavorful, tangy, and slightly spicy vegan chutney.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp chana dal
  • 1 Tbsp urad dal
  • ½ tsp asafoetida (hing)
  • 3-4 dry red chillies
  • 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp mustard seeds
  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • 2 cm chunk ginger
  • 10-12 curry leaves
  • 1 small green chilli
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 2 cups tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ Tbsp jaggery
  • 1 Tbsp tamarind pulp

Instructions

    1. Heat oil in a frying pan on low heat and add chana dal, urad dal, hing, dry red chillies, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, garlic cloves, ginger, curry leaves, and green chilli. Saute for 3-4 minutes. Then add the onions and saute again for 2-3 minutes.
    2. Now add the remaining ingredients - tomatoes, ground black pepper, salt, jaggery, and tamarind pulp. Mix everything well, cover the pan with a lid and cook for around 10 minutes on low heat or until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.
    3. Turn off the heat and let the tomato and onion mixture cool down and then grind it in a mixer grinder to form a smooth paste.
    4. Serve the chutney with idli, dosa, or any South Indian delicacy.
    5. You can also store the leftover chutney in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
