Kultha Chutney is a very simple and tasty chutney. Kulithu in konkani means horse gram. I had posted the benefits of horse gram in one my posts- Kultha idli. I got this recipe from a cook book written by Jaya V Shenoy. My amma never made this and it is totally new to me too. This is a old dish and slowly it is getting lost. Hence I thought of trying it so that I can post. The taste was excellent. Try making this healthy chutney and enjoy!!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Horse gram- 2 Tbsp
- Grated Coconut, fresh/frozen- 2/3 cup
- Roasted red chillies- 3-4
- Tamarind- A small ball (goose berry sized)
- Salt- To taste
Procedure:
First roast horse gram until it changes its color slightly and gives out a nice aroma (it might take 3-4 minutes).
Now grind grated coconut along with roasted red chillies, tamarind and salt. Then, to this ground mixture, add the dry roasted horse gram and grind it again adding water as required (don't add too much water . Water is added just to bring all the ingredients together). Transfer the contents to a bowl. Kultha Chutney is ready!!
Serve it with dosa, idli or rotis. Above measurement serves 2-3 people.
