Oats Chutney

If you love coconut chutney and looking for ways to make it healthy, here is one that tastes like coconut chutney , is healthy and no one will ever find the difference.

I used:

For chutney:

Toasted quick cooking oats - 1/2 a cup

Fried gram dal / pottukadalai - a little less than 1/4 cup

Green chillies - 2

Curry leaves - a handful

Tamarind - a small bit

Salt to taste

For seasoning

Oil- 1 teaspoon

Mustard seeds- 1/2 a teaspoon

Urad dal -1/2 a teaspoon

Curry leaves - a few

1. Grind together all the ingredients mentioned under ' chutney' to a smooth paste adding a little water.
2. Heat oil for seasoning and add the rest of the seasoning ingredients.
3. When the mustard pops and the dal turns brown, pour over chutney.
4. Mix well and serve as a side dish with idli / dosa.

Note:

• Curry leaves lend a nice flavor to the chutney.It is optional
• You can substitute curry leaves with mint leaves / coriander leaves.
