Channa dal chutney is commonly used in Karnataka. It is a quick recipe and perfect for kids lunch box to be used with idly / dosa.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Channa dal

• 1 onion small size

• 1 pod garlic ( optional )

• 1 lemon size tamarind ( as per taste )

• Rock salt

• 1/4 cup grated fresh coconut

• 2 Red chilli

• 1 inch fresh ginger

Method

• Dry roast Channa dal till they are brown
• Soak the tamarind in hot water for 10-15 mins and extract the pulp and keep aside
• Grind the following - Channa dal, red chilli, onion, fresh coconut, garlic, ginger, salt and tamarind pulp to a fine paste. Check the taste and adjust the chilli / salt / tamarind as per your taste if needed
• Tip : If coconut was refrigerated, soak it in hot water for 3-4 mins before grinding. The coconut releases its oils when it's cold and the chutney will seem greasy if used as is from the refrigerator.
• Optionally you can add dry tadka of mustard and enjoy.
• You can also use roasted peanuts in place of Channa dal and make peanut chutney too.
