Ingredients:
- Green Gram – 1Cup (200gms)
- Cumin Seeds – 1 1/2tsps
- Red Chilies – 6 or to Taste
- Salt – 1 1/2tsps or to taste
- Asafoetida – A Pinch
- Lemon Juice – 1tbsp
- Water – 20ml
Preparations:
Wash
the green gram thoroughly and soak it in water for 40 minutes. Break red
chilies into small pieces. Take a paper plate and add cumin and red chili
pieces to it. Place this paper plate in microwave oven and roast on high power
for 10 to 15 seconds.
Method:
Take
a mixie jar and add the roasted cumin and red chilies into it. Grind the red
chilies and cumin to a coarse powder. Add soaked dal little by little and grind
it. The texture should be slightly coarse but not a fine paste. Take the ground
chutney into a bowl and grind the remaining dal also to the similar texture.
Mix the chutney well. Add asafoetida and salt to the chutney. Add lemon juice
and mix again. Now the chutney is ready to serve. Transfer the chutney to a
serving bowl and serve with plain rice and ghee.
Points to Notice:
The
asafoetida in this chutney along with the cumin gives a unique flavor. Though
we used minimum ingredients yet the taste of this chutney is finger-licking.
When
there are no vegetables this dish comes out handy with great taste. When you
need to handle extra guests at short notice also it is an excellent
complimentary dish.
Variations:
You
can add grated raw mango instead of lemon juice and get a seasonal flavor.
If
you don't have lemon on hand, you may add a bit of citric acid crystals, but
you need to wait for a while before it gets mixed with the chutney completely.
During
my Grand Mother's time, lemons were not available all through the seasons. Most
of the time ithis chutney was without being spicied with lemon, mango etc. Yet
it used to taste great. Don't be tempted to spice with tamarind. The looks and
taste may not be attractive!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
