Print Friendly and PDF


sutta kathrikai chutney

My mom makes this chutney for Idli.I tried last week with some slight changes.My husband who hates brinjal loved this chutney a lotThumbs-up.Thanks to my momSmile. Please adjust the spice level as per ur taste.

My mom's recipe

Ingredients
  • Brinjal – 1 no (Medium size)
  • Cooking Oil – 1 tbsp
  • Red chilly – 5- 6 nos
  • Urad dal - 1 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds – 1.5 tsp
  • Tamarind – 1 big seed
  • Hing – a pinch
  • Salt  & water – As needed
To temper:
  • Coconut oil – 2 tsp
  • Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
  • Urad dal – 1/2 tsp
  • Hing /Asafetida – A pinch
Method:
  • I used MW for roasting / burning  the brinjal.Slit cut the brinjal into 4 pieces and brush with oil.
  • MW high for 3-5 mins.(adjust acc to ur MW , I kept for 5 mins.)
  • The skin will come out easily and the brinjal gets cooked.U can do the same on stove top in low to medium flame.Let it cool.Then remove the skin and set aside.
  • Heat a kadai with a little oil and roast the mustard , red chillies with urad dal and hing.
  • Grind the brinjal, redchillies ,hing and tamarind along with salt and little water.
  • Finally add the roasted urad dal  and  mustard seeds ..coarse grind it.Add water if necessary.[Be sure the brinjal gets mashed completely.Only the urad dal should be coarse].Temper it at the end.
  • Serve with idli/Dosa by mixing with Sesame /Gingely oil.

TIPS
The same chutney can be had with rice by grinding with  1/2 tsp of pepper and 3 flakes of garlic along with the above said ingredients.Serve it topped with ghee!!

ஹாய் சித்ரா சூப்பர் கத்திரிக்காய் சட்னி, கத்திரிககாய் பிரியாணிக்கு செய்வோம், எண்ணை கத்திரிக்காய் சட்னி.

மற்ற படி கத்திரிக்காய் ரசம், சாம்பார், பொரியல்,புளி குழம்பு .....

சட்னி இது வரை செய்ததில்லை. செய்து பார்க்கிறேன்.

ரொம்ப அருமையான இருக்கு எல்லா போஸ்டும்.
