Heat 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the split black gram (urad dal) and roast until golden brown. Set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced bottle gourd (sorakkai) to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens.
Let the cooked bottle gourd mixture cool completely before blending.
In a blender, combine the cooled mixture, roasted urad dal, fresh grated coconut, tamarind pulp, salt, and 100 milliliters of water. Blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a small pan for tempering.
Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle. Then add the dried red chili and sauté for a few seconds.
Pour the tempering over the blended chutney and mix well.
Serve the chutney alongside rice, dosa, or idli. Enjoy your vegan sorakkai chutney!
