I am an American married to a South Indian. I love the delicious food that my mother-in-law makes, but I can never seem to get my hands on any authentic South Indian recipes. This blog is simply a collection of dishes I have learned by watching Ammachi ("grandma") in the kitchen. From the heart of our home to yours, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Wet Coconut Chutney

This side is mildly spicy and a fabulous accompaniment to many curries.  It is best enjoyed with Idli and/or Sambar.  


Ingredients
1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
1 green chili, chopped
1" piece ginger, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup yellow split peas
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp mustard seeds

1.  Blend coconut, chili, ginger, garlic, and yellow split peas into a course paste in blender/food processor (add water in small amounts if needed).

2.  Heat oil in small saucepan;  add mustard seeds.  When seeds start to pop, remove from heat.  Pour oil over coconut paste and stir to mix.  Chill.
