Coriander Chutney

A very simple and easy to make thovayal.
Ingredients
Coriander - 1 bunch
curry leaves - 10
Garlic - 4 pods
Tamarind paste - 1/2 tsp
Green chillies - 3
salt
For seasoning
oil - 1 tblsp
urad dhal, mustard
currly leaves
Method
Grind everything under the ingredients with
less water to a nice paste.
Heat a kadai with oil.
Add urad dhal, mustard, curry leaves.
After it splutters add the grinded paste.
Keep the flame in simmer.
Let the raw smell of the coriander goes out.
This would take 1o min.
Thovayal tastes great with curd rice or even
with Idli,Dosa.
