Dry Chatni Powder

-------------------------------------------------

Ingredients

• Urad Dal – 1cup
• Red pepper – 1 cup
• White Til (Sesame) – 1Tsp.(optional)
• Chana Dal – ½ cup (optional)
• Sugar – ½ Tsp.
• Salt to taste

Process

1. Roast Urad Dal in a pan till red and keep it aside.
2. Put ½ tsp. oil and roast the red pepper and keep it aside.
3. Roast white sesame with the lid on.
4. Dry grind the Urad Dal .
5. Add red chillies to the Urad Dal and continue grinding.
6. Add white sesame in the end and finish the grind.
7. Add sugar and salt to the powder and mix it well.

My take on it

• A slight variation would be to roast the Chana Dal and Urad Dal together. This can also be ground coarsely or finely depending on each individual. This can be used as a dry chutney  with Dosa and Idli. This powder is mixed with oil (Sesame oil) to give the traditional taste.
