Bengaluru - Mysuru Style Chutney Pudi
Thursday, November 05, 2020Chutney Pudi is a pantry staple in most households in Karnataka .. It can be consumed in more than a dozen ways.
Chutney Pudi mixed with a little Ghee or Groundnut Oil eaten with Idli or Dosae is such a savior when one is too lazy to make some chutney .. A drizzle of chutney Pudi over the otherwise boring Uppittu, Eaten alone with curd rice, Akki Rotti or simply mixed with fresh steamed rice & Ghee is such a bliss. It is a pantry staple in most Karnataka households
Every region has a different recipe & infant every household has their own version.
The one here is an Authentic Bengaluru/Mysuru Style Chutney Pudi by my Mom
You Will Need:
- 1 cup Bengal Gram - Chana Dal
- 1 cup Black Gram - Urad Dal
- 1 cup or 2 Cups dry coconut/kopra/kobbari - Grated or Desiccated Coconut ( See Notes)
- 3 cups dried Red chillies - Byadagi Variety (See Notes)
- 3/4 th cup Jaggery
- Tamarind - A small lemon sized ball / 1 tbsp heaped Dry Tamarind powder
- 1 1/2 cups - Curry leaves
- 1/2 tsp - Hing/asafoetida

- 2 tsp Oil
- Dry roast Bengal Gram & Black Gram separately until they are aromatic & turn slightly reddish.
- Roast Red chillies separately with 1 tsp oil until slightly brown
- Roast curry leaves with 1 tsp oil for 2 mins
- Dry roast grated dry coconut until it turns slightly reddish
- Roast Tamarind for a minute
- Mix all the roasted indredients along with jaggery, asafoetida & salt
- Gring coarsely into powder. DO NOT powder it very fine as it will not taste very good.
Serve with Idli/Dosae/Rice/Upma/Curd Rice or just about anything .. ENJOI !!!
NOTE:
- Most Store Bought Chutney Pudi uses 1 cup of grated dry coconut for this measurement .. 2 cups of grated coconut gives it a very nice & rich flavor so i recommend using 2 cups
- Store Bought Desiccated coconut powder works very well for this recipe
- You can use 2 parts of Byadgi Chillies & 1 part Gutur Chilies for a slightly spicy chutney Pudi
- You can alter the taste by adding more jaggery if you want this mix to be slightly sweet. You can also add less/more curry leaves as per your taste
