- Lemon juice as needed
Instructions
- Dry roast the chana dal on medium heat until the dal has changed color to a light brown. Set the dal aside.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan on medium heat.
- Stir-fry the red chilies until become a dark color.
- Add asafetida, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds.
- Stir-fry for few seconds until seeds crack.
- Next, grind the chana dal and spices to a powder and blend with the yogurt.
- Add salt and lemon juice if needed.
Notes
- Before mixing yogurt, chutney powder can be store for few months in airtight jar.
- Mix the yogurt just before serving.
- Mix the chutney powder with cream cheese and use as sandwich spread.

July 4, 2012 at 10:43 pmDear Manjulaji,
y’day only i have got your site thru net and I am so happy to see various recipies with tips. It is very easy to cook following your instructions, in simple manner you have given how to cook, i think first time i have seen. I am maharashtrian, but we dont eat onion and garlic. Its very useful for me to try your recipies.
I make punjabi style paneer, mushroom & vegetable. I use tomato puree and khaskhas (i think it is called poppy seeds), ginger, coriander, kaju paste for gravy + red chilli pwd (or sunday masala). You can try this. Thanks Mam.
