In a pan add 1/2 tsp of oil, fry red chilly and remove. then fry urad dhal, garlic, coconut for 3 minutes. then grind this with red chilly, salt, pottu kadalai,tamarind to chutney consistency.

then do the seasoning with the ingredients mentioned. fry shallots nicely, for about 2 to 3 minutes. then transfer this to chutney, mix nicely and serve with venthaya dosa.

Varition:
---------

we can even add fresh corainder leaves for this chutney. Once we grind the chutney, just fry handful of fresh coriander leaves, add this to the chutney which in the mixier, just grind for 2 seconds and remove. so that the leaves will not become like a paste, it will be coarsely ground. taste will be too good. Rest is same.
