ABOUT Mango coconut chutney RECIPE

No South Indian meal is complete without having curd and rice at the end of the meal. As the combination of curd and rice, with just a dab of salt is a bit bland (though at times, this simple combination can be heavenly!) we always supplement this with a dab of pickle or chutney. And mango-coconut chutney is a perfect accompaniment for this ambrosial meal. This chutney can be prepared within 10 minutes and does not need seasoning. The seasoning is ground along with the coconut and the mango pieces.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 mango medium sized
2 cups coconut (shredded)
3 tablespoons urad dal
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi)
3 - 4 red chillies (more can be used based on ones preference for spiciness)
a pinch of asafetida
salt as per taste
1/4 cup water (or as required)

Instructions

Heat oil in a small wok/kadhai. Add urad dal and fry for a few minutes till it turns light golden in color. Add to it mustard seeds and let these splutter. Break the red chillies into pieces, add to the seasoning and fry.
Add asafetida, fry and turn off the heat. Let it cool. Powder this mix, in a blender. Peel the mango and cut it into small pieces. Add it to the blender, along with the shredded coconut. In case you do not have the shredded coconut readily
Add some water, as required to obtain a paste. Add water with caution to avoid a runny chutney. The consistency of the chutney can be adjusted as per your preference either to a coarse chutney or a fine paste.
This chutney does not need additional seasoning.
Savor this tangy chutney with hot rice and a dab of oil, preferably peanut (groundnut) oil! As this oil renders a wonderful aroma to the meal. At the end of your meal, you can relish this chutney along with rice mixed with curd.
