Dry Roast 2 tsp of urad dal in a pan. Remove the seeds in tamarind. Clean the Curry leaves, Coriander leaves and Mint leaves. In a pan add 1 tsp of cooking oil and season with Mustard seeds, remaining 1 tsp Urad dal and Asafoetida. Let it cool. In a mixie jar put Tamarind, Dry roasted urad dal, Red chilli and Salt. Grind two or three times in pulse / whipping mode. Add Curry leaves, Coriander leaves and Mint leaves. Add little water and Grind it. After grinding it add seasoned content (Urad dal, Mustard seeds, etc.,) into the jar. Add water only if necessary. Grind to a fine paste. I saw this recipe in PODIGAI channel in an Herb related program. They told if we take this chutney everyday, there will be no digestion problem. It is best for women, etc., So from that day I used to prepare this Green chutney at least 4 times a week. It is best with Rice. In a plate add some rice, add Green chutney and top with sesame oil. Heavenly taste. Note : There is no need to sauté the leaves. Fresh leaves should be used. We can add one fresh Gooseberry to this chutney. While using Goose berry, remove the seed and reduce the tamarind size to half. This chutney helps in hair fall problems also when using with Gooseberry.
