Instructions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mustard seeds and let them pop for about 20 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the curry leaves and broken dried red chili and fry for 10 seconds until the leaves turn crisp, being careful not to burn them.

  5. 5

    Pour the hot tempering over the chutney and stir lightly to swirl in the aromatics.

  6. 6

    Serve fresh and slightly chilled with dosa, idli, or vada.
