Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sorakkai (bottle gourd), peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup Grated coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Roasted chana dal (skipped per Whole30, substitute with toasted cashews)
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind paste (unsweetened, ensure Whole30-compliant)
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 6 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt (Whole30-compliant)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced sorakkai (bottle gourd) to the skillet and sauté for 10–12 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Add the garlic cloves and green chilies to the skillet, and sauté for another 2–3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed sorakkai mixture, grated coconut, toasted cashews, tamarind paste, salt, and water. Blend until smooth. Adjust water as needed for your desired consistency.
In a small pan, heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the mustard seeds, and when they begin to pop, add the curry leaves. Stir for 30 seconds.
Pour this tempered mixture over the blended chutney and mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip or side dish.
