Absolutely yummilacious!!, You will never want to try one more recipe, divine taste, and gorgeous.., I could say a lot more to this chutney powder. If you are from Bangalore, Karnataka, everybody would know of Subbamman Angadi in Gandhi Bazar and definitely would have bought this kind of chutney powder. I can promise you this recipe beats that recipe. This is second version with this kind of chutney powder. The first one is here. You would love that too..., But this one is outstanding.
Last time when I went home, I stayed in my sis home, her MIL who is also related to us in many ways!!, makes this chutney powder my kids had fallen in love with this. She is a very good cook, and she thinks I am the good one, bless her, she asks me what do you do with this, with that vegetable and things like that :). Basically she is a fantastic lady, very helpful, very understanding and I could write a lot more about her. She has a special place in whole of the family and everybody loves her to bits.
This post and this recipe is dedicated to her, she has a very special place in my Heart - I love you so much Leela aunty. The last time I was making this, I was chatting with Lata and told her I got tired of grating nearly a kg of Copra and my hands were paining, she asked me why are you grating so much, I said I miscalculated and I have ended up in making this Chutney pudi in Kgs!!. She thought I have gone completely bonkers. Well, any way I made around 1 and 1/2 to 2kg of Chutney pudi I think, I did not measure, and it lasted more than 4 months.., I have to make it again, kids are demanding.., I got all the things only thing is I have to make it again (dreading to grate Copra though!!).
Here is the recipe details, hope you like it and enjoy it as we all do....
CHUTNEY PUDI - BANGALORE STYLE
Recipe source : Leela Aunty
INGREDIENTS:
175 gms Channa dal (3/4 Pav)
115 gms Urad dal (1/2 + 2 tbsp Pav)
375 gms Copra/Dry Coconut
50 gms Guntur
50 gms Byadgi
12 gms Mustard seeds
40 gms Tamarind
1/2 cup / around 120 gms - Acchu Bella (Square Jaggery)
5 to 6 twigs of Curry leaves (around 1/4 cup)
2 gms of Hing/Asafoetida
1 and 1/2 tbsp Salt ( adjust accordingly)
Oil as required
SEASONING:
2 to 3 tbsp of Oil
1 tsp Mustard seeds
METHOD:
In a pan with a tsp of oil, fry each one of the Ingredients separately and in a low flame.
When you are frying dals & mustard seeds, add Dry red chilies with them and fry this way, Frying only chilies will give that spicy aroma, which is quite harsh, and makes your throat tickle and you might start coughing.
Frying chilies in portions with other ingredients makes it more subtle and easy to handle the Ghaatu (or harshness).
First of all add a 1/2 tsp of oil fry Channa dal to golden colour.
Next Urad dal with a 1/2 tsp of oil to golden colour.
Then fry Tamarind until they become too soft, when they cool down they harden up.
Then fry mustard seeds they too change colour to a darker colour and starts spluttering.
Then fry curry leaves
Then grate Jaggery and keep aside.
Grate Copra/Dry coconut and fry them without oil into a golden colour and keep aside.
Allow all the ingredients to cool down completely, this way your mixie will not get spoiled.
Now Mix them all together with Hing , and grind them in batches as it is a large quantity to a very coarse powder, then in the end with the last two batches Grind the ingredients first then with one batch add grated jaggery and give a little pulse just to ensure it is mixed, don't run it too much. Next batch of the powder ingredients grind Copra with a pulse, that is quick movements, to the first setting for a minute, come back and run the mixie again for a minute this way it will not become too soft and too oily.
Take all the Grinded ingredients into a large bowl now add required quantity of salt, mix them well together with you hand so that every thing is well incorporated.
Taste and adjust Salt and give a thorough mix.
Heat a pan , heat oil then add mustard seeds when they splutter switch it off. Give it few minutes so it cools down add this seasoning to the Chutney powder, Mix well again.
It is now ready to be served.
This Chutney powder is Semma tasty ( very tasty), goes very well with Idlis, Dosas, Chapatis, my fav is with Rottis (Akki or Ragi rotti).
You can even enjoy like my friend U who sits on my breakfast bar with my pickle and chutney powder in front of her puts little on her palm, and starts licking it up!!, she is regular customer for this powder especially!!
MY TIPS:
In Bangalore, you get powdered Tamarind, you can substitute that instead of Tamarind which is very easy process.
This Chutney powder is the second entry for my Blogging Marathon started by Srivalli, check out all my other friends who are running this marathon with me.., Hope my friends and you all enjoy this as much as we do...
adieu.., c u soon with an other recipe....
Take an other look at my Chutney powder and I will sign off...
An update for this post:
As everybody is asking me what are those two different chilies I have and always have used in many of my recipes, I would like to elaborate about them a bit..
BYADGI CHILIES: It is very popular chili from Karnataka, It is grown in Byadgi town, in Haveri district of Karnataka. These chilies are crooked in shape and long, they give a deep colour to the dishes and mild in flavour. These chilies have are not too spicy and gives a sweetness to the dish (don't get confused they are spicy too but not as spicy as the other varities - more like kashmiri chilies you can substitute kashmiri chillies )
GUNTUR CHILIES: These chilies are grown in Guntur, Andra pradesh, they are very spicy, you can see it in the left side of the photo.
So I usually combine both it to give the rich colour to the end product!!.., If are anytime in Bangalore get these Byadgi chilies and try it in your dishes you will notice the difference. As I don't get them here I bring it from India!. You can only use just the Byadgi chilies and you will see the difference you find with the colour and the taste of the dish!
Try it out and tell me if you liked it....
As some of you have been asking me about Jaggery, I am doing an other update you can try using any other kind - I have give few links I found googling click on them.
Jaggery / Goor / Bella . I have found that you get in powder / block and some other forms. You just have to break them down. I measured the 1/2 cup jaggery which I had mentioned and weighed it was around 120 gms. Hope this helps

Your Bangalore style chutney pudi is a hit in our home. When my husband and daughter feel bored, they just take a spoonful of the pudi and relish the taste and flavour and it's wonderful to see them enjoying it.
I only add 2 - 3 byadgi chillies and the remaining are regular chillies.
And now, thanks to your recipe, I make the chutney pudi much much better than the Bangaloreans
Thanks a ton for sharing the recipe.
Jayasri Ravi
Thank you so much Hemalatha, it means a lot to me! It's so kind of you to write to me as well, I will surely try and post everything you asked for! keep supporting

Hi Jayasri : First of all, my heartfelt thanks for this amazing recipe, something truly exceptional -That is my daughter's comment !. She could not stop licking and eating it. It came out beautifully, right the first time!
I am from Bangalore and in Canada for 50 years. We love chutney Pudis, but I can not get a good one in Bangalore, even from Subbama's..
A Few Remarks:
* Your Exact measures of each ingredient is very. very helpful . It shows how hard you have tried to perfect it.
* I like Flax seeds. So I replaced Dhals with Flax seeds.... one -to-one. It came out just right.
* Using exact recipe exactly, with the same weight of Flax seeds, I got exactly 1Kg of Pudi.
It's a bit too spicy. Next time I will cut down on Guntur Chillies. Probably eliminate it and use only Byadagi chillies.
*You might consider dry roasting stuff as much as possible. With Oil for roasting, it may go rancid after 3-4 months. So I keep this batch in the Fridge. But 1Kg may not last longer than a month!
Overall. a great recipe, developed with hard work and above all love of the Bangalore Chutney Pudi.
Now I am going to try your Karela Palya. That is the love of our life
Jayasri Ravi
Thank you so much for your kind words, It is a pleasure to know that you all enjoyed. I love adding flax seeds to my powders as well.
roopa
you have mentioned 50 gm red chilly each variety(total 100 gm) somewhere around 80 nos. of red chillies!
please clarify if they are not too much for the dal quantities mentioned...because i want to try this..
i normally use 30 red chillies for similar measurements of chutney pudi..
Jayasri Ravi
sorry Roopa for not replying quickly I have measured everything, the ingredients compliment each other, so it will be perfect, I have many people who have tried this and said that it has come out very well, it might be a bit spicier, you can reduce the amount of chillies if you want, try out and see

Tried this recipe at home last month, wanted all my friends to try this, hence the late feedback. Personally i found this recipe to be AMAZING. And my boyfriend who's extremely picky with food LOVED it !! (even asked me to pack some for him) :D. Am preparing it again!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe Ms. Jayashri ! 🙂 (Honestly better than subbamana angadi chutney pudi)
Jayasri Ravi
Thank you cookies N Candles, for your appreciation, you made my day :), thanks for taking time to pen down few words very thoughtful of you.

Can I use fresh grated coconut(maybe after frying it in oil) instead of dry coconut?
Thanks
Shobha
Jayasri Ravi
Hi shobha,
sorry for the very late reply, I have been inactive for the past month, I do not where you reside, do you get Dessicated coconut (dried coconut which you can find in Asian shops and also in super markets here in UK) you can use them, they don't get spoiled.
The main reason for using dried copra is because it has a long shelf life.
Well, as you said you can try using fresh coconut roasted may be without oil until it turns light red in colour, as you can't use fresh coconut in this recipe. But, I would suggest that you make it in a small quantity first and see how it stays otherwise Freezing the rest of the powder in a tightly packed box, and take out only small quantity for just a week.

jayasriyavare, subbammanangadi chutneypudi comes in the category 'something is better than nothing' in my opinion. i agree with u as regards children liking homemade chutney pudi, my son prefers my variety! i too make it myself tho proportions slightly vary from yours. i write this to say your photographs are very very good and sharp. makes the mouth water just looking at them. thanks
Jayasri Ravi
Thanks champa, Any chutney pudi we make alter always has to start with Subbammanangadi as I feel is the basic source :)).., thanks for telling my photos are nice.., I don't have a camera I just use my mobile to click photos.. :))
Jayasri Ravi
Hello, anonymous, you can substitute copra with dessicated coconut ( dried coconut sold in packets)
Anonymous
Thanks for the detail post..Chutney pudi looks so yummy. I stay in US and dont find Copra here. Can you please suggest me what can I substitute for that?
ironamma
This looks so delicious. I'm a huge fan of Chunteypudi and have been making it. It's nice to get this break down. I used your recipe to collaborate with one of mine.......Quick Upit recipe #cream of wheat #oats #salty #breakfast http://wp.me/p1jwFi-40 ENJOY!

Hi Mr. Srinivasan, as I had written to you that I will not be at home, the weekend, I am back today and I have updated my blog hope it helps you.., write to me if you have any more queries, Basically Jaggery can be used in the way you like it if you like more sweetness increase it a bit or like the spiciness then reduce the quantity of Jaggery. It is totally up to you, or you can just stick to my recipe. :))

Jayasri madam,
Thank you somuch for your timely help and well detailed explanation.
You have explained in such a way that i can't make mistakes in this recipe and it is very useful for beginners like us.We feel very grateful to you.
I think i had troubled you in your busy works by asking doubts.sorry for that.
Actually the podi i got from india which my mother prepared is over by now,then i thought i will try once by searching the recipe on net and i finallay landed
in your blog.I can't live without podi since my childhood and it is my alltime favourite.
When i looked at this recipe the color,the recipe,comments,your words about the recipe inspired me to try atonce.
one thing was there in my mind, i should get the exact taste of this and i like to give the positive feedback to you.
Due to lack of experience,i had a doubt on curryleaves & that's why i asked you as i don't want to spoil the taste by my own judgement of measuring.Now it is very well clear for me
and i can proceed doing this.
I have one more doubt.Will you guide me?
//1/2 Acchu Bella (Square Jaggery)//
We can't get this type of jaggery here. I would like to know the gram measures for jaggery used for this recipe.Gram measures will be of great help and we hope
we get help from you.
I am expecting your reply very very eagerly.I am very much interested in making this recipe immediately.Everything else about this recipe is clear now.
I will get back to you with my results immediately once i am done.
Once again thanks a lot for your kindful help.

Hi
Mr. Srinivasan,
My apologies for being late in responding, I had a very busy weekend with friends around, so lots and lots of cooking and cleaning :)).. well, anyway here I am.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, much obliged, thanks that you like my recipes, definitely do give this chutney powder a try you will not be disappointed, it is absolutely delicious, usually a twig of curry leaves have around 8 to 10 leaves, I would say you could use around 40 to 50 leaves which are not too tender, the leaves around medium sized, when I said 1/4 cup (80 ml ) the leaves, I don't measure them in ml/cup/grams, I just make it with eye measurements, too much curry leaves may tend to have the end product more curry leaf smell.
Yesterday I thought to give you a precise amount, I took this step to check out, If you want to measure like in cups/ml/grms, just pluck the leaves and fill the cup, don't press it too much, then I just put in my measuring scale to check out in grams I found it measured 40 grms, and also my cups says 1/4 cup is 80ml. Hope this helps

Some time back I won a goody bag with stuffs from Subbamma angadi thro Vani's blog. All the items were so tasty.Chutney pudi is my fav too. Bookmarked ur recipe...
Suma Gandlur
I studied in Gandhibazar bu never knew about that angadi since I wasn't interested in cooking those days. 🙂
We too make a similar version and know how yummy this pudi tastes. Why don't you add small copra pieces instead of grating?
Jayasri Ravi
That's a little store next to HB Samaja choutlery, I don't want to add copra pieces as they don't mingle well with the powder.
