Steps

1To begin making the Chana Dal Chutney, first place a pan on the heat and warm up some oil Add the roasted chana dal with a few curry leaves and red chillies. Saute for a couple of minutes on a medium flame.
2Then add grated coconut and stir for 1 minute till the coconut is lightly toasted. Take the pan off the heat.
3Transfer the contents from the pan into the mixer jar and using just enough water, grind it to a smooth paste.
4Take care not to make it too runny, adding only as little water as required to make grinding easy.
