Famously known as 'Getti Chutney' in South India, this delectable and flavourful chutney is nothing but a basic coconut chutney prepared with very less amount of water to get a coarsely textured, thick chutney.
It tastes more delicious when grounded in stone mortar n pestle as the ingredients are partially or coarsely grounded imparting more flavour and taste to the chutney. Its always a common sight to see in many restaurants where people order for a idly n getti chutney parcel.
Many households and restaurants in South India still follow the age-old method of preparing this chutney using a mortar n pestle.
Believe me, you'll notice a great enhancement in taste, flavour and texture in this method than the usual version. Here, I have given the getti chutney recipe that can be prepared in a stone mortar n pestle.

Tadka

  • Heat 1 tsp of til or coconut oil in a kadai and add rai. When it splutters, add urad dhal, hing, curry patha, red chilly and sauté till urad dhal turns golden in colour. Pour it over the chutney and mix well.

Notes

  • This chutney stays fresh for many hours and is best suited for tiffin box and travel food options.
  • You can add ginger, garlic, fresh coriander to add additional flavours to this basic chutney. But we like it simple and plain when it comes to relishing ‘Getti’ chutney. 
  • Tadka is optional. You can skip it and add few curry pathas and hing while grinding itself.
