Description
Combination of onion, tomato, coconut and pottukalai makes this scrumptious chutney. The consistency of this dish looks inbetween sambar and chutney so we at home sometimes.. call it Pottukadalai Sambar.| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 2 nos | Onion (chopped) |
| 2 nos | Tomato (chopped) |
| 3 nos | Green chili |
| 3 tsp | Split roasted gram/pottukadalai |
| ½ tsp | Coriander seeds |
| 4 stks | Coriander leaves |
| 5 nos | Curry leaves |
| ¼ cup | Grated coconut |
| ¼ tsp | Mustard seeds |
| ¼ tsp | Cumin seeds |
| 5 nos | Curry leaves (for tempering) |
| 4 tsp | Oil |
| ¼ tsp | Salt (or to taste) |
Instructions
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.

Hi Mullai, I make tomato onion chutney with less ingredients than above. I just heat the oil, fry onion, curry leaves and green chilli and then add tomatoes and some salt and fry and then grind it and give it tadka. It tastes yummy with the crumpets(we get it here in UK in supermarkets, which looks & tastes similar to set dosa). I am sure your recipe will taste even better with few more ingredients going in to it. I shall try it very soon.
