ABOUT Moong dal (green gram) chutney RECIPE

Moong dal chutney in one of the common chutneys which my mother used to prepare every week. I have very fond memories of eating this chutney with relish along with hot rice, a dab of oil and a bite of raw onion! In Telugu, this chutney is called, ‘Pesaru pacchadi’. This is a very simple ‘no cook’ chutney!

1 Cup Moong Dal
3-4 red chillies
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or
Juice of 1 lemon
salt as per taste

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

Drain and add the soaked moong dal to this and grind. Add the tamarind paste, little water, salt and grind. Based on your preference you can either grind it to a fine paste or to a coarse mixture.
Tamarind can be replaced with juice of one lemon too.
