If you love coconut chutney and looking for ways to make it healthy, here is one that tastes like coconut chutney , is healthy and no one will ever find the difference.
I used:
For chutney:
Toasted quick cooking oats - 1/2 a cup
Fried gram dal / pottukadalai - a little less than 1/4 cup
Green chillies - 2
Curry leaves - a handful
Tamarind - a small bit
Salt to taste
For seasoning
Oil- 1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds- 1/2 a teaspoon
Urad dal -1/2 a teaspoon
Curry leaves - a few
- Grind together all the ingredients mentioned under ' chutney' to a smooth paste adding a little water.
- Heat oil for seasoning and add the rest of the seasoning ingredients.
- When the mustard pops and the dal turns brown, pour over chutney.
- Mix well and serve as a side dish with idli / dosa.
Note:
- Curry leaves lend a nice flavor to the chutney.It is optional
- You can substitute curry leaves with mint leaves / coriander leaves.
