Ingredients

  • ½ cup toor dal
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon coconut
  • 2 red chillies
  • 2 garlic
  • ½ teaspoon pepper corn
  • 1 pinch hing
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • salt to taste
  • water as required

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan, dry roast dal till golden brown, remove and set aside. In the same pan, add coconut, pepper corns, garlic, red chilies, salt and hing. Roast till coconut turns slightly brown and chilies are crisp.
  • Allow it to cool and grind it with little water to a semi coarse paste. Add water according to the consistency you want.

Notes

  • Roast Dal Evenly – I always roast the dal on low flame till it turns golden. If roasted too much, it tastes bitter so keep stirring and watch carefully.
  • Fresh Coconut – I used fresh coconut as it gives best taste and texture. If you are using frozen one, thaw it before adding.
  • Adjust Water – I add it slowly while grinding, consistency should be thick and coarse, not watery like chutney.
  • Garlic – You can just skip garlic if you do not like the flavor. Still it will taste nice with dal and coconut alone.
  • Tamarind – I sometimes add small piece of tamarind for mild tangy flavor. It gives small twist and taste very nice.
