BM #87 Day 10 - 

After two gravies and some fritters in this No Onion No Garlic series, let us focus on the very essential part of a South Indian meal, a chutney.  

My sister shared this recipe with me a while back and I think she mentioned the usage of garlic. I had a sudden inspiration to make this chutney for the Ugadi thali and so skipped the garlic from the ingredients. 

I don't think we missed the garlic in this chutney. It was more or less like the Kandi Pachadi which we make. 



The above picture is of the Ugadi platter I made this year where moong dal chutney takes a spot.

Ingredients - 

Moong Dal / Pesarapappu 1/2 cup
Dry Red Chillies 4-5
Coconut Powder 1 Tbsp
Salt as needed
Tamarind extract as needed
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Curry Leaves few, Asafoetida 1/4 tsp)



Method Of Preparation -

In a heated sauce pan, keeping the heat to medium, dry roast Moong Dal until it attains a golden brown hue and the aroma is pleasant. Keep stirring it and don't leave it unattended.

Remove onto a plate allowing it to cool. Now dry roast red chillies separately and let them cool.

Upon cooling, grind all the roasted ingredients adding  tamarind extract, salt and enough water. We like the chutney in a coarse texture but that is individual preference.

Note that this chutney will absorb a lot of water thereby increasing in volume.

To prepare the seasoning, heat oil and add all the remaining ingredients. After the Dals brown and the mustard seeds pop, remove and mix it in the above chutney.


Enjoy with steaming hot rice and a dollop of ghee as part of a satisfying meal!

  21. Love your festival platter there, Harini. I really don't have he patience to cook that much on a festival day and I envy when you guys post these kind of delicious thalis. We prepare moong chutney in two ways. One is your version though we don't add coconut to it.
