MOONG CUCUMBER CARROT SALAD

TOMATO CHILLI GARLIC CHUTNEY 

Ingredients :

Tomato - 3 medium 

Garlic - 2 pods

Red chilli - 10 ( if you chilli variety is too hot reduce the amount but this chutney is spicy one)

Tamarind pulp - 1 1/2 tbsp ( Diluted pulp , not thick.  Reduce or increase the sourness accordingly since my tomatoes are not very sour I add 1 1/2 tbsp)

For Tempering :

 

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Curry leaves - few

Saunf - 1/4 tsp

Gingelly oil - 2 1/2  tbsp

Salt as needed

Method :

1. Heat little oil in a pan add the chillies and saute till they are roasted. Remove and keep it aside.

2. Now add the tomato and little salt, fry till they become mushy. Once it is cooled.

3. Grind everything except the tempering ingredients.

4. When you grind first powder the red chilli flakes and garlic , then add tomato, tamarind and salt. The chutney should not be like fine paste.  Grind coarsely.

5. Temper the chutney using the tempering ingredients with given amount of Gingelly oil.

Note :

1. If you don't like the raw smell of garlic you can roast them along with red chilli and grind with tomato.
