JHATPAT CHATPAT- FOR QUICK, EASY AND TASTY RECIPES

Requisite: Mixer/ dry grinder

Chutney PuDi means chutney in it's powdered form. As it is prepared from dessicated coconut, it's shelf life is very high. Hence, it could be stored for as long as a month and consumed. Garlic chutney puDi is my favourite out of the varied options available. While one could conveniently buy a packet of it from any local store, the advantage of homemade puDi is that it's healthier and has that personal touch to it.

Ingredients used:
Dessicated coconut/ cobri/ copra- 1/2 to 3/4th
Chana dal- 1/4 kg
4 garlic pods- cloves peeled and lightly crushed
10-12 byaaDgi long red chillies( wrinkled variety)
Tamarind- about the size of half a lemon
Salt as per requirement
2 tsp of jaggery/ as per taste or requirement, depending on how much sweetness you would like.

How to prepare:
Dry roast dessicated coconut, chana dal, crushed garlic and red chillies separately. Once they cool down, mix all of them and powder them along with the other ingredients in a mixer jar. Store in an airtight container ( inside or outside the fridge). Use a dry spoon everytime you use the puDi.
Serve with idlis/ dosas/ mix with ghee and plain rice and consume.
