Green chillies: 1-2
Ginger(chopped): 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic (optional): 1/2 teaspoon
Pottukadalai / Roasted Bengal gram: 1/2 tablespoon
Peanuts: 2 teaspoons
Tamarind pulp: a pinch
Coriander leaves: 2-3 leaves
Water to grind
Salt to taste

Seasoning
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves
A few dried red chillies

Grind all the ingredients to a fine paste. For seasoning, heat some oil and splutter mustard seeds. Add the dried red chillies and curry leaves. Mix well into the chutney and serve with dosas or Idlis.
