Coriander Chutney

It is very strange to be posting a recipe of Coriander chutney in my Blog. Just imagine my first post and a coriander chutney. Actually this chutney is very precious and important for us, for we happened to eat a homemade chutney after three months, we were settling in London and had to do a lot of other important things rather than research for a Blender and buy one. So here was the holiday time and we had enough time to buy a Blender and we settled with a Breville 400 watt hand Blender. Its good so far, and I was more than excited to start off a full fledge cooking....oh my goodness...I am so happy :-)

Here is the recipe, very simple one that we all do at home.

Ingredients:

• 4 Tsp - Grated Coconut
• 2 Tsp - popped channa dhal
• Coriander a Handfull
• 4- Green Chillies
• Tamarind as per taste
• 3/4 tsp Ginger Paste
  
• Salt to Taste
  

For Garnish:
Oil, Mustard Seeds, Urad Dhal, 1 Red Chilli broken into two and a pinch of asafoetida(Hing)



Place all the ingredients expect for the garnish in a blender and grind into a firm and smooth paste, adjust as per taste. Once done tranfer to a small serving bowl.
Now for the Garnish, place a small kadai on heat and pour in two tsp of oil, drop in the mustard seeds and allow to splutter, now add the urad dhal and the red chilli, when the dhal gets to light brown colour add the asafoetida and pour over the chutney.

Enjoy the Chutney with idly or Dosa :-)

The quantity and measurements mentioned will be sufficient for 2 people.
