Chutney! ;)

Radish Chutney

Ingredients
Radish grated - 1 Cup
Coriander seeds - 2 tsp
Chana dal (Bengal gram split and skinned) - 2 tsp
Urad dal (Black gram Split)- 2 tsp
Tamarind paste - 1 tsp
Dried Red chillies - 2-3 (for more spice you could add 4-5)
Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric - a fat pinch
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste

For Seasoning
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Chana dal - 1/4 tsp
Urad dal - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 Sprig
Oil - 1 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp



Preparation

In a pan, heat 1/2 tsp of oil and add coriander seeds, urad dal, chana dal and fenugreek seeds. Saute until they turn golden brown and keep the contents aside on a separate plate.

Continue in the same pan, fry the red chillys for a couple of minutes and again keep aside on a separate plate.

Next add 1/2 tsp of oil and add the grated radish with turmeric powder. Saute on low flame for about 5-8 minutes till the raw fragrance of the radish disappears. ( If needed sprinkle a little water and saute for a few more minutes).

Grind the roasted coriander seeds mixture with the red chillies. Add 2 tbsp of water and salt, grind until you get a coarse paste. (Careful we do not want a smooth paste)

Mix this paste with the grated radish. (you could also grind your radish along, if you wish to)

Seasoning - Take a pan and add 1tsp of oil. Add channa dal, urad dal and mustard seeds and allow them to splutter then add curry leaves and asafoetida. Pour the seasoning into the chutney and mix well.
