How to make pottukadalai chutney

We always tend to forget to post some recipes, which we do it most often, thinking that, it is not of much importance. Such a kind of recipe is Pottukadalai chutney recipe / Fried Gram dal Chutney. I prepared this last Saturday and had it for the breakfast, suddenly, I remembered that I have not posted this recipe. So the next day, I prepared it again and clicked it. It may sound very simple but, you believe it or not, in my early stages after marriage, I do not know how to cook this Pottukadalai chutney. This chutney is my hubby's favorite and he used to cook it for me during weekend. The second chutney, I learnt in my cooking life. First being the tomato chutney and third, ground nut chutney.

How to make potukadalai chutney recipe


Notes:
1. If you prefer the tamarind taste, you can add a little piece and grind together.
2. Also you can increase or decrease the quantity of coconut according to your taste. But I feel, if coconut quantity is increased, the gram taste decreases. So I added the quantity, which is required for our family. 
3. Adding the dried red chilli is purely optional. 
4. You can also adjust the water quantity to make the chutney thick or as per your taste.
