Yum! Yum! Yum!

My hubby Vj  loves Chutneys on his Dinner Plate, and he has aversion to Cabbage because of it's smell. So I sneak in cabbage in lot of chutney's and rice dishes like fried rice and pulao etc. Today I have paired Cabbage with Coconut along with Green Chilies and it resulted in new Chutney Avatar that was super hit on the table. The recipe is similar to routine Cabbage Chutney, expect that I have added fresh coconut in addition to cabbage in this chutney. Here is the recipe, Njoy!


Ingredients:
Chopped Cabbage - 1 cup
Coconut Pieces -  1/3 cup
Green Chili - 3
Garlic - 3 Cloves
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Tamarind - 1 Tbsp
Oil - 1 tsp

Tempering:
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Red Chili - 1
Chana Dal - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 14 tsp ( Optional)
Curry Leaves - 5

Method:

1. Heat non-stick pan add 1 tsp of oil. Once the oil is hot add Green Chili, Cumin Seeds and Garlic Cloves, sauté them for 1 min. Add chopped cabbage and sauté  for 5 min. Add Tamarind and Coconut Pieces to the pan and sauté them for 3 min. Switch off the stove and let the mixture cool completely. 
2. Grind the mixture in small mixie jar along with salt until it becomes like paste. 
3. Add tempering in the same non-stick pan, add 1 Tbsp oil, followed by Red Chili, Chana Dal, Urad Dal, Mustard Seeds, Turmeric Powder (if using) and Curry Leaves. 
4. Once the tempering is done add the chutney to this tempering and mix everything together and transfer to serving bowl. Serve with Hot White Rice or Vada or Garelu or Dosa.
