Carrot - 4 small (comes to 2 cups after grating)
Small Onion - 8
Dry Red Chilli - 2
Chana Dal - 1 tbsp
Tamarind - 1 tsp
Ginger - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Oil - 1.5 tspMustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Urad Dal - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - a sprig
Hing - 1/8 tsp
Method:
- Wash carrots, peel off the skin and trim the edges. Then grate it using a grater.Add a tsp of oil and saute the grated carrots until raw smell leaves, bu that time it will shrink in volume.Set aside.Heat a tsp of oil and add chana dal, red chillies,tamarind and small onion and saute till golden brown.
- Transfer all the ingredients to a mixer, and grind it along with salt,ginger and required water. Then heat a tadka pan - add the ingredients listed under 'to temper' let it splutter then add the tadka to the chutney mix well.
My Notes:
- You can add 2 tbsp coconut too while grinding.
- You can replace big onion with small onion too.
- Adjust red chillies according to your spice level but as carrot is added, 3 was enough to compensate the sweetness.
