Simple Coriander / cilantro Thuvayal ( chutney)
Ingredients: serves 4 (conservative estimate)
Cilantro / Coriander leaves (washed and chopped) - 1 1/2 cup
Urad dal - 2 tbsp
Green Chilli - 1 or 2
Ginger - 1 tsp (grated)
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder (haldi) - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli - 1 or 2
Tamarind - just enough to roll up to size of a small key lime
(If using pulp - 1 tbsp)
oil to temper (1/2 tsp)
Curry leaves - 5 or 6
Process
Pour oil in a kadai and roast urad dal for a minute or so (medium flame)
Add red chillies, ginger, green chillies, curry leaves and saute for 1/2 a minute or so
Add asafoetida, turmeric and transfer the ingredients onto a plate to cool
Soak the tamarind in a tbsp of water
Use the oil traces in the kadai and saute coriander leaves (cilantro) on medium flame for two minutes
take it of the stove before the leaves change colour
Combine the sauted leaves and the sauted ingredients, tamarind and salt and grind into a yummy thuvayal :)
A simple comfort food which goes well with dosa, idli, adai or pesarattu etc. Tastes divine with steamed rice as well...:) Serve with the oats and quinoa adai
