  4. If you'd like to use less coconut, add the split peas while frying the ingredients, and reduce the coconut quantity to ½ cup.
  5. Grind the fried ingredients with grated coconut, tamarind, and salt, adding a little water as needed.
  6. Heat a little oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they start spluttering, switch off the flame and pour the seasoning over the chutney.

Tips

  • Adding split peas lets you cut down on coconut while still keeping the chutney thick and flavorful — good for those watching cholesterol.
