* 1 cup finely grated fresh coconut - See here for tips
* 6 to 8 green or red hot chili peppers
* ½ teaspoon of tamarind paste
* 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
* 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
* 1½ tablespoons channa daal
* Sea salt - to taste
* ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
* 3-4 curry leaves , I guess a 1 bay leaf would do if you can't get curry leaves
* ¼ teaspoon asafoetida, Garlic is probably a very poor substitute for asafoetida
* 1 teaspoon ghee or vegetable oil
===Method===
* Dry roast channa dal until slightly browned and allow it to cool
* Grind all the ingredients in a coffee grinder
* Stir in a little water and mix in a bowl until you have a smooth paste. This step could be done in a blender, but not in most coffee grinders
* Heat the oil in a small pan and add the mustard seeds
* Once they statr to pop, reduce the heat and add the asafoetida and curry leaves
* Stir well then mix into the chutney
