Red Coconut Chutney

Red Coconut Chutney ??? Sounds bit weird right, how can coconut chutney be red instead of white, Well, It is....this is a simple coconut chutney made with coconut and red chillies. The red color comes from the red chillies. As this is a raw grind chutney, preparation time for this chutney is less than 5 minutes and can be a good choice of chutney when you need to fix a quick side dish for idlie's/dosa's. This is a frequently prepared chutney for idlies at my in-law's place and we just love the combo.

Ingredients:

Shredded Coconut - 1 Cup
Red chillies - 5 or 6 (upto your spice taste)
Tamarind piece ball - pearl size
Salt - 1 or 2 tsp
Seasoning Ingredients: Oil - 2 tsp, mustard seeds - 1 tsp, broken urud dhal - 1 tsp, small onions - 5 (chopped to small pieces), asafoetida - 1/4 tsp, curry leaves - 6




Method:

1. Raw grind together - coconut, red chillies, tamarind & salt adding required water.



2. In kadai, season as given, 


 
Fry till the urud dal turns light brown & onion becomes aromatic, and then pour the ground chutney onto the seasoning and switch off immediately and mix well.


Red coconut chutney is ready. Serve for idlie's/dosa's as a side dish.
