Uzhunnu Vada(revisited) with Coconut Chutney

I was not satisfied with the pics of Uzhunnu Vada which  I had posted earlier. So here comes the next version with some coconut chutney. I was relying on the store bought coconut chutney distributed by Deep. And one fine day I was out of stock and then came back to my mom’s good own recipe.



For Uzhunnu Vada, I followed the same old measures. Please link back my old post for the recipe.



Coconut Chutney:



Ingredients (Serves 4 - 5):

Coconut, grated   --   1 cup
Channa dal             --   1 tbsp
Green Chillies        --   2 - 3, use according to the spice level
Coriander leaves  --  ¼ cup, loosely packed
Tamarind                --   a very small ball / ½ tsp of tamarind paste
Ginger                      --   1 inch piece
Salt                            --   to taste
Water                       --   approximately ¼ cup. Adjust according to the consistency required.
Oil                              --   1 tbsp
Mustard seeds      --   1 tsp
Red chillies            --   2 - 3
Curry Leaves        --   1 spring

Preparation:

Coarsely grind together coconut, channa dal, green chillies, coriander leaves, tamarind, ginger,salt and water. Empty it into a bowl.
Heat oil and splutter the mustard seeds, add red chillies and curry leaves. Switch off the flame and pour it over the ground chutney.

Serve with hot Vadas. This goes well with idly, dosa, upma etc. I add more water if preparing for idly or dosa.
