Green chilles 3 - 4

curry leaves 10 - 12 (leaves)

Small piece of ginger

Coriander leaves - 1/4 th cup

Salt to taste

Small piece of tamarind / 1/4 spoon of tamarind pulp

Split peas - 2 spoon

Procedure:

Heat 1 spoon of oil in a pan, add whole green chillies and fry it for about 2 minutes. Then, add ginger, coriander leaves, and curry leaves, fry them for a while and remove from flame.

If you want to use less coconut, you can add split peas while frying the ingredients and can reduce the qty of coconut to 1/2 cup.

Grind these fried items with grated coconut, tamarind and salt in a mixer by adding little water.

Heat little oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. Once it starts spluttering, switch off the flame, and add the seasoning to the chutney.
