I like my chutneys and thogayal a bit on the thicker side so I don’t add much water while grinding. Its up to you on how you want the consistency of this coriander chutney but adding too much water will dilute the flavours so be careful about that.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of grated coconut (thawed if frozen) 1 cup of packed coriander leaves (cilantro) 2 red chillies 1 green chilli A small piece of tamarind 1/2 tsp of urad dal (ulutham paruppu) 1 tsp of oil
How to Make Coriander Chutney:
- Heat oil in a pan and add the urad dal. Fry until golden brown.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves and saute until wilted.
- Then add the red chillies, green chilli, and coconut along with some salt. Sautè until the coconut loses much of its moisture (about 3-4 mins). Turn off flame, add the tamarind, and let it cool down completely.
- Grind to a smooth chutney using only as much water as required for the grinding. Serve coconut coriander chutney (cilantro thogayal) with rice and any kuzhambu or rasam of choice.
