Putnala Chutney

My mom makes this chutney whenever she makes Idlis and this goes really well with Dosas too. You can actually try different variations with his and modify according to your taste, add more ginger, less putnalu...make it in anyway, it tastes great.

But, remember not to put the chutney into the hot seasoning pan. Let the seasoning cool down and mix all of them together, otherwise I have observed the coconut gets sticky and brings out the oil from it.

You need...

For grinding:
1 cup of putnalu
1/2 cup cocunut
1/2 inch ginger
1/2 tbsp sugar
3 green chillies, or according to your spice levels
few coriander leaves, choppedsalt to taste

For seasoning:
1/2 tbsp each jeera, rye, urad dal, chana dal
1 or 2 curry leaves
1/2 red chilli
1 or 2 tbsp oil

1. Grind all together until smooth.
2. Heat oil in a pan add all the seasoning items and saute for
   a minute. Remove from the stove and let it cool.
3. Mix it with step 1.
   Enjoy this chutney with Idlis and Dosas.
