Coconut Tamarind Chutney

Ingredients:

• Coconut - grated (3/4 cup)

• Red Chillies - 3

• Tamarind - a small marble sized ball

• Oil - 2 tbsp

**Method: ** In a small pan, heat oil and fry the chillies, tamarind and coconut lightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little. Then, grind them in a blender with salt and a little water. The consistency should be somewhat like a thogaiyal (with less water). Goes well with pongal, idlis, dosas.
