Getti chutney recipe, South Indian chutney recipes

Getti chutney, the traditional south Indian coconut chutney served in restaurants, pairs well with bonda and bajji. It is nothing but a thick coconut chutney but if you ask any typical south Indian foodie, they will tell you how everyone will crave for this getti chutney. When i posted thavala vadai recipe i mentioned that i will post the recipe of getti chutney but some how it was forgotten. Yesterday i made this to pair with thavala dosai | thavala adai ( will post the recipe soon). I clicked the thengai chutney recipe with step by step pictures and finally posting the recipe of getti chutney today.
In our family everyone are a great fan of getti chutney, we have a lot of stories for this and if i talk about that, i will never get into the recipe. Our most favorite memory is visting Madurai Gopu Iyengar kadai around 3 pm and enjoying Vellaiappam with Getti Chutney. They both are match made in heaven. The smell of the chutney takes me back to those childhood days.

• Description: Getti chutney, the traditional south Indian coconut chutney served in restaurants, pairs well with bonda and bajji

    Coconut  1 cup
    Roasted gram dal  1 tblsp
    Ginger   a small piece
    Green chili  2
    Oil  2 tsp
    Mustard seeds  1/4 tsp
    Curry leaves  few
    Asafoetida  a pinch
    Salt  as needed 

Method:

• In a mixie jar add the grated coconut, roasted gram dal (pottukadalai), ginger, green chili and salt.
• Grind this into a paste, adding little water to this. 
• Do not pulse this into a fine paste, a very slight coarse paste is also fine.
• Transfer this to a bowl.
• Temper this with mustard seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves in 2 tsp oil. 
• Mix well. 
• Serve with bonda, vellaiappam, thavala dosai or bajji too. 
• The chutney goes well with idli dosa too. 

Notes:

1. Do not add more water while grinding. 
2. Always prepare the chutney with freshly grated coconut. 
3. Prepare the chutney just an hour before making as refrigerating for a long time will spoil the texture of the getti chutney.
