Coconut chutney (Kobbari Pacchadi) by DK on Nov 2, 2008
Whenever I think of Coconut chutney, I think of my grandmother. She suffers from high diabetes and hence has to abstain coconut from her diet. But she is so in love with coconut, that show her, say something like coconut chutney, she turns into an adorable child insisting on being served with it immediately. With her in my thoughts I present you this family favorite and although the recipe can vary from house to house, the variations are quite mild and almost follow the same ingredients. I usually don't go for measurements and just eye ball it. But then the recipe is more or less the same as listed below.
- Cook time:
- Prep time:
- Yields: Around 2-3 cups of chutney
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut, grated
- 1 cup roasted gram (dalia/pottu kadalai - available in Indian stores)
- 2-3 green chillies (or as per taste)
- 1/2 cup curd
- salt to taste
- To Temper
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp split black gram dal (urad dal)
- 1-2 dried red chillies (as per taste)
- few springs of curry leaves (Available in Indian stores)
- a pinch of asafoetida
Method
1.
Soak the roasted gram in water for at least 20 min.
2.
Add all the Ingredients other than the ones mentioned in the Tempering section in a blender and blend them till smooth.
3.
In case if its too thick, add more buttermilk till its neither too thick nor too watery.
4.
Now in a tsp of oil, temper the ingredients given in the To temper section till the mustard seeds start popping.

good
By Amanullah on Oct 20, 2013
mmm, add an inch of ginger, a few peices of raw mango without skin and a small scallion to the grind. Tempering should be with light coconut oil and add a few fine juliens of ginger when switching off the flame. While serving top up with a pinch of roasted cumin powder.

its good but i prefer with some modification.
instead of raw grated coconut, i roast the grated coconut in a pan for sometime(1-2min) by doing this is can be preserved for long time and i like the flavor of that.
in temper along with mustard seed i put saunf it gives a nice smell. but didn't put hing to that.

I have specified it what it is near the ingredient itself. Its roasted gram/dalia. I think it is also called as bhuna chana - see image here

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I tried it last week when I wanted chutney for dosa but had no fresh herbs in hand. This was delicious! I only needed about half of the amount of roasted gram specified in the recipe.
