Kadalai paruppu chutney | Bengal gram chutney

March 18th, 2009

Kadalai paruppu chutney is yet another jiffy cooking dish. Unlike other chutneys this one can be had with rice too. I usually prepare this chutney without adding too much water (bit thick). It tastes heavenly when it is taken with hot rice and nalla ennai (Gingelly oil).

Ingredients:

Kadalai paruppu (Bengal gram): 1 cup
Ginger: small piece
Coriander leaves: few
Red chilies: 3
Salt: to taste
Tamarind: a pinch
Coconut: as per taste
Asafetida: a pinch

Preparation Method:

  • Heat little oil and roast the kadalai paruppu and red chilies.
  • Add asafetida to it.
  • Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Add coconut, coriander leaves, salt, ginger and tamarind to the mixture.
  • Add little water and grind it.
  • Serve with hot rice, idly, dosa or chappathi.

Tips:

  • You can also add garlic to the recipe.
  • Green chilies can be used instead of red chilies. Both ways the chutney tastes yummy.

    This reminds me of parappu thogayal, only different because of the ginger and coriander leaves. Loved it, I am definitely going to try this one soon :-)
