Mixed Chutney - Malayala chutney

This is a recipe which I learnt from my mom-in-law. Thats how she calls it - Malayala Chutney. Basically it is a mixed chutney with great taste! Add all that you want and you like and your chutney is ready. Here it goes :)

1. Onion - 2 medium sided
2. Tomato - 1 medium sided
3. Ginger - 1/2 inch
4. Garlic - 2 to 3 cloves
5. Coconut grated - 8 tbsp or 1/4 cup
6. Green chilly - 1
7. Red chillies - 2
8. Tamarind - 1 inch piece
9. Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
10. Curry leaves - 1/4 cup
11. Mint leaves(Pudina) - 1/4 cup
12. Salt to taste
13. Mustard - 1/4 tbsp
14. Urad dhal - 1 tbsp
15. Toor dhal - 1 tbsp
16. Asafoetida - 1/2 tbsp
17. Oil - 2 tbsp

Heat Oil in a pan, add the mustard, urad dhal, toor dhal and saute for a minute. Add asafoetida . Add onion, green cilly, red chillies, ginger and garlic and saute for a min. Add  tomato and all the left out ingredients except for coconut. When the green leaves are half cooked add the coconut and continue stirring for 5 mins. The total quantity now would be half of what you added to the pan. Remove from heat, let it cool. Grind and serve with any type of dosa's or Idli.

They taste excellent! Try it out and find the difference in your home. I bet nothing would be left out :)
