Heat 3 tsp of oil in a pan, add the coriander seeds and fry for few seconds. Followed by roughly chopped onions and green chilies. When they turn translucent add the chopped tomatoes and cook them till tender. Now add the pottukadalai(Dalia / split roasted gram), grated coconut and fry for few more minutes. Switch off and let cool the mixture. Now grind this along with coriander leaves, curry leaves and salt. You may add little water to keep the mixie running. Again heat the remaining 1 tsp of oil and splutter mustard, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Add the ground chutney and bring to one boil and switch off. Make sure you bring the flame down after tempering as this gravy splutters all over while simmering. Good side for hot steaming idlis and crispy dosas.
