Instructions for Kollu Thogayal Recipe (Horsegram Chutney)

To begin making the Kollu Thogayal recipe, firstly heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan/kadhai. Add mustard seeds.

Once the mustard splutters add asafoetida, curry leaves, dry red chilli [broken in half], chana dal and urad dal. Stir well and keep the heat on low.

Once the dals are roasted, add a pinch of turmeric powder and the horsegram. Fry until it gives a lovely nutty aroma [keep the heat on low to avoid burning the lentils]

Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly grated coconut. Once cooled, grind into a thick 'paste' with a very little water. Add salt to taste and give it a final churn in the mixer. It is ready to be served.
