Our love for chutneys is well known in our families. So I keep varying the ingredients and sometimes they turn out to be our favorite versions. and this chutney is one such.
Here is the other version of Toor dal chutney.
Ingredients -
Toor Dal 1/3 cup
Dry Red Chilies 5
Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
Ghee 1/2 tsp
Tamarind Extract 1-2 tsp (as per taste)
Fresh or Frozen Coconut 2 Tbsp
Salt as needed
Seasoning (Oil 1 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Curry leaves few, Asafotida 1/8 tsp, Red Chili 1 )
Method Of Preparation -
In a heated pan add ghee and fry the toor dal and dry red chilies until the toor dal turns into a golden brown color. Before removing from heat add cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds.
Transfer the above onto a plate allowing them to cool.
After they cool, transfer in to a blender jar adding salt, tamarind extract and coconut. Make a coarse paste, remove onto a bowl and prepare the seasoning.
In a heated pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning ingredients. After the dals are brown and the mustard seeds pop, remove from heat and pour into the chutney.
