A yummy chutney for idlis..I temper mine with mustard\curry leaves..
at the cost of looking totally stupid..can u pls ‘show’ how much is 1″ginger piece..i have seen a lot of recipes call for it..but i could never understand how much it is..esp the circumference of ginger is not always uniformm
thnx shlpa!!
MB its around 1/2 tea spn finely chopped ginger. I thought this measurement in spoons would help more than a picture.
Shilpa,
Really good site! A real treasure of good old konkani recipes.
One variation for the ginger chutney(goan style) is to add a little sugar. Gives it a sugary gingery taste!
i add handful of dalia dal to it. it tastes better.
hi thr nice site
At least have a food test from far from our Motherland.
Thanks a Lot.
i used to add a little bit of sugar ,roasted dhall ,coriander leaves.jus try!

Its very helpful for us Thankyou we appreciate your effort 🙂
Dear Shilpa lovely recipes. Well I add roasted chana dal to this chutney it gives a good taste.
Dear Shilpa tasty and easy recipies . I add roasted chana dal in this chutney.
Can the coconut chutney be made using shredded coconut available in the stores? We do not get fresh coconut too often where we live.
How do I use shredded coconut – do I need to soak it or something?
Shilpa: You mean the dry shredded coconut? The taste will be very different from fresh/frozen coconut. You could try soak it in little hot water and use
i think in place of urad dal you have to use channa dal
hey Shilpa,
is there a way to store the unused coconut? which can b used in the nest month or so for makin fish curry or somethin?
You can store it in a freezer for 2-3 weeks
thanks
you have explained very nicely,i do idli tomorrow as per your suggetions
thanks
