👩🍳Instructions
Roast lentils
Heat a pan on medium flame, add chana dal and urad dal, and roast until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and let it cool.
Roast chilies & curry leaves
Add a few drops of oil, roast dried red chilies until crispy, then add curry leaves for a few seconds until crisp.
Roast coconut
Add grated dry coconut to the pan and roast on low flame until light golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn it.
Tempering
Heat remaining oil, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add garlic (if using), fry until golden. Add asafoetida.
Grind
Once everything cools, combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse to make a coarse powder — chutney pudi should have some texture.
