Gayatri's Kitchen: QUICK CHUTNEY FOR IDLI / DOSA / VADA / PAKODA

Yes!!!!! It just takes not more than five minutes to prepare.And believe me, taste is just heavenly.
Let us see how to prepare this.

The following measurement makes around 4 bowls(Standard Size) of chutney and depending upon the consistency.

Ingredients :

Grated Dry Coconut - 1 Cup (Now a days, it is easily available in the market)
Green chillies - 2, chopped (No need to be chopped finely)
Garlic Cloves - 2 to 3
Gingler - 1/2 inch ,chopped
Salt to taste
Sugar - 1 Tea Spoon (Optional)
Buttermilk - 2 Cups
Oil - 1 Table spoon
For Tadka - Cumin Seeds and Mustard seeds (1/2 Tea Spoon each),Udad Daal or Split Black Gram(1 Tea spoon), Asafoetida and Turmeric powder (1/4 Tea Speen each), 2 Dried red chillies.

STEPS :

Except buttermilk and Oil, Transfer all the ingredients to grinder and grind well and transfer this dry chutney to a bowl.
To this add the butter milk.Depending upon the consistency of chuteny you prefer, you can adjust the quantity of buttermilk.Mix it well.At this point, chuteny is ready but without Tadka
In a pan, heat the oil.First add Mustard and Cumin seeds.After they start to splutter,add Udad daal and let fry on low heat.Flame should be low to just medium, because we do not want Udad daal to over burn.The Cruchy daal adds very nice aroma to this chutney
Put down the flame and Hing or Asafoetida,Turmeric and Dry chillies immediately and stir with spoon.Using this technique will save Hing,Turmeric and Chillies from over burning.
Pour this Tadka on the Chutney and mix well.
Chutney is ready to serve with Idli,Dosa,Vada etc.The tangy taste of curd is what makes this chutney so special

TIPS :

You can serve withou tadka too.But, Tadka adds nice flavor :)
If butter milk is not ready, just do this : After you take out chutney from the grinder, add yogurt or curd,some water and blend it and add it to the chutney
If you are curd lover,you can just blend the curd without water and add to this Chutney
