MIXED VEGETABLE CHUTNEY

When you are running out of the veggies and left  with only one or two of each variety, go for this simple chutney. I still remember those school days when my mother used to make this delicious chutney. 

INGREDIENTS

  • Brinjal pieces                 1/2 cup
  • Ridge gourd                   1/2cup
  • Onion                             1/2 cup
  • Tomato                           1/4 cup
  • Green chilies                  4
  • Salt                                 To taste
  • Sugar                              1 Tsp
  • Turmeric                         1/2 tsp
  • Coriander                       4 sprigs
  • Curry leaves                   a few
  • Tamarind                        1 inch piece
  • Oil                                  3 Tsp
  • Chana, urad  dal             1 Tsp each
  • Jeera                               1 Tsp
  • Mustard                          1/2 tsp
  • Hing                               1/4 tsp 

PROCEDURE
I use only the above veggies, you can try adding capsicum, dosakay too.
Heat 1 Tsp of oil and add the tadka ingredients( chana, urad dal, jeera, mustard, hing).
Add the slit chilies too. Slitting the chilies is very important, so that they don't burst out in hot oil.
When the dals turn golden brown keep the tadka aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and add the veggies, salt, sugar, turmeric, tamarind.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes and 15 minutes without the lid or till all the water is evaporated and the veggies are completely cooked.
Let cool and then grind the veggies along with the tadka, coriander sprigs and curry leaves.
Serve with hot rice or any Indian bread.
