Coconut Garlic Onion chutney

Coconut & Garlic onion chutney - preparation time 10 mins
Coconut is good when taken uncooked and limited quantity. We can make it much more health by adding few other ingredients. Last week i tried adding garlic and small onion and tried our normal coconut chutney (i.e. coconut, roasted gram & green chili). It came out well and nice with ven pongal. As garlic is good for heart and it will be difficult to consume raw you can add it chutney. So we will be able to take it raw. Happy and healthy living.

Ingredients:-
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Green chili - 2 (you can add according to your spice level)
Garlic pods - 2
Small onion - 2
Roasted channa spilt (Pottukadalai) - 1 ½ tsp
Mustard - ¼ tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Sesame oil - 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Water - required amount

Preparation method:-
In a mixer add grated coconut, green chili,garlic, small onion and blend to smoot paste. Finely add roasted channa, salt and little water (don’t add too much water it will bring down the taste of chutney. Add water which is required to grind) and grind again.
Heat 1 tsp oil to tawa with mustard, urad dhal and fry till dhal is light brown. Add this to chutney and take with idli/dosa/chapatti.
If you provide feedback it will be valuable for me and i will come to know whether you like tradition cooking with some healthy fusion.
