• Raw tamarind – a handful (should be tender and not fibrous )
• Grated Coconut – 1/2 cups
• Green Chillies – 5 or as per spice level
• Salt to taste
• Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
• Jeera – 1/2 tsp
• Curry leaves – a few
• Coconut oil for tempering – 1 tbsp

Method :-

1. Peel the skin of the tamarind , wash & boil with very little water .
2. Let cool . Then squeeze out the flesh discarding the seeds . ( DO throw away the seeds as they will otherwise give a bitter flavour to the chutney).
3. Grind the pulp with the coconut and green chillies to a smooth chutney consistency .
4. Add the salt .
5. Heat the oil in a kadai & splutter the mustard seeds . Then add the jeera and curry leaves .
6. Pour them over the chutney .

Enjoy this with rice as a side dish or with idlis & dosa as a dip !
