Ingredients

Pottukadalai is known as roasted gram dal commonly. In Tamil it is also called as Udacha kadalai. This is always present in South Indian house holds and one of the easily available healthy item for kids.

We use it in various chutney mainly or even in kurma, kuzhambu as thickening agent along the other ground items. Even we make snack and sweet with it. If I am not wrong it is also known as Dariya.

Pottukadalai, known though various names as fried gram dal, udacha kadalai, chutney dal, roasted gram dal, daria

Variations

I used ginger, garlic and onion in this chutney. But if you want to make it satvik, you can omit these and use asafoetida powder while tempering.

The consistency is purely your choice. If you want watery go ahead and add some water or want to keep it thick, you can serve as getti chutney.

You can also skip the coconut and make pottukadalai chutney without coconut.

Roast all the items for longer shelf life. Especially if you are going to keep in the room temperature for long. Use spoon even while grinding and avoid using bare hands.

You can skip tamarind in this recipe. Add sauteed tomato, roasted red chilli in place of green chilli for variations.
