Til and Kadipatha Chutney

A few months back a friend from Delhi had come home and I was chatting to her while making snacks ready for her.Suddenly she said you know a couple of days ago Yamini had come home and before going she left a couple of recipes on your computer. I had forgotten all about it. Yesterday I needed a chutney very badly and I had overused all the ones I have..so I looked back to see what recipes Yamini had left for me .

The first one was a Kadi, a dall and hello! ... here is a chutney...Til and Kadipatha Chutney. I immediately made it and we all tasted it with parathas and ghee .. it was out of this world...it was so novel I speechlessly put pinches into my mouth and started savouring it...

I have given the recipe exactly as Yamini had given to me..

Ingredients for the Kadipatha Til Chutney:

1 cup curry leaves

4 teaspoons til

1 inch piece of tamarind

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup desicated coconut

2 tea spoons oil

1 tablespoon khus khus

1 pinch hing

1/2 teaspoon mustard

Method:

• Vagar the mustard in oil.
• Add a pinch of hing
• Add the curry leaves and fry crisp.
• They will turn a darker shade of green.
• Add the til and poppyseeds ad mix.
• Fry till aromatic.
• Now add the desicated coconut, and brown it a bit.,,,
• but dont burn it.
• Put off gas and cool completely.
• Then powder in mixer with Tamarind. salt and sugar.

Serve with any type of Bhakri or rice and ghee.

This was a new chutney in the house, so everyone wanted to taste it. The verdict was clear when the chutney container was empty..!...

Well that was a sucess... Now on to my next post.....
