Ingredients:
Bengal Gram - 1 Cup or 220 Grams
Urad Dal - 1/2 Cup or 100 Grams
Bydagi Red Dried Chillies - 35-40 or 70 Grams
Grated Dried Coconut or Copra- 2 Cups
Tamarind - 1 medium lemon sized
Salt - 2 Tbsp (I have used rock salt)
Jaggery - 3 Tbsp
Curry Leaves - 25-30
Coconut Oil - 2 tsp

Seasoning Ingredients:

Coconut Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida or Hing - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. In a big pan, dry roast the 1/2 Cup Urad Dal till slightly golden in color in medium flame and transfer to a big vessel.

2. To the same pan, add 1 Cup Bengal Gram and roast in medium flame till it turns golden in colour and you can smell the aroma from it. Transfer to the same vessel as that of roasted Urad Dal and cool completely.

3. Now add 2 tsp Coconut Oil to the same pan. Once Oil is hot, add 35-40 Red dried Chillies and 15-20 Curry Leaves. Roast both in medium flame for about 10 minutes or till they change their colour. Transfer to another plate and allow to cool completely. Once cool, they turn crisp.

4. Now to the same pan, add grated Dry Coconut or Copra. Roast in low flame for 1-2 minutes and switch off the flame. To the same heated pan, stir for additional 5 minutes till they turn warm. Now transfer to another plate and allow to cool.

5. To the cooled Urad Dal and Bengal Gram, add Tamarind, 2 Tbsp Salt and 3 Tbsp Jaggery. Mix once and keep aside.

5. Now transfer Red Chillies and Curry Leaves to a big mixer jar and grind it to a coarse powder. Now to the same ground Chilies, add around 1 and 1/2 Cups of Urad-Bengal Gram mixture and grind them to coarse powder. Transfer to a big bowl.

6. Now add remaining Urad-Bengal Gram mixture to a mixer jar and grind them in batches to a coarse powder and transfer to the same bowl. Mix everything once.

7. Now add cooled Dried Coconut to the ground powder and again grind everything in batches till you get smooth powder or as you like for Chutney Powder/Chutney Pudi. We like coarse texture in Chutney powder so we prepare slight coarse powder.

Now Chutney Pudi or Powder is ready. Transfer to an airtight container. You can store the Chutney Pudi for about 2 months time. Quality cooking wares that I love and recommend. Many of these I use every day in my kitchen and in the videos as well. Thank you.
