Thengai/Coconut Masala Chutney


Coconut masala chutney is a flavorful,tangy and mildly spicy chutney goes very well with Idly and Dosa which is my grand mother's signature recipe.This one is a favorite accompaniment for idly,dosa for my family and love it a lot.This chutney stays fresh for 2 days if it is stored properly in the refrigerator.Today is the day 3 of blogging marathon #16 and the recipe is as follows............

Ingredients

Coconut1/2cup

Tomato2nos.(medium size)
Red chilly5-6nos.
Oil2tbs
Curry leaves1 sprig
Mustard seeds/kadugu1/2tsp
Urad dhal/ullutham paruppu1tsp

Method 

                 Chop the onion finely and grind the coconut,red chilly and tomato to a fine paste,keep aside.
 Heat a pan with the oil,when it becomes hot splutter the mustard and urad dhal.Add the onion and curry leaves,saute it till golden.
Now add the ground paste and fry it for a minute,add a cup of water.Let it boil till the raw smell disappears and becomes thick.
Serve it with idly and dosa.
Enjoy........................

  • This chutney will be even more tasty if shallots are used.
  • Instead of grinding the red chillies,red chilly powder can be used. 
  • The consistency can be adjusted with water,prefer to make it thick when I need to store it for 2 days.  
  • A clove of garlic can also be added along with coconut for extra flavor.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
