Fry well till the seeds splutter. Add asafoetida and curry leaves and fry. When done add this seasoning to the chutney and mix well. This chutney tastes well if garnished with coriander leaves.

Point To Be Noted:

Often in many houses Salt is the villain in this chutney. It takes very less salt compared to all other dishes. Hence be careful while adding it.

Roasted Bengal gram is called as Dalia in most North-Indian places. If it is not available dry roast the Bengal gram and use it in place of Dalia. Peanuts can also be substituted for roasted Bengal gram, but taste differs a bit.
