Ingredients

• 250 grams Bottle gourd (sorakkai)
• 50 grams Coconut, grated
• 2 pieces Green chilies
• 1 inch Ginger
• 6 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 piece Dry red chili
• 1 teaspoon Tamarind
• 2 teaspoons Oil (preferably coconut or sesame oil)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the bottle gourd (sorakkai) and chop it into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the urad dal and roast it until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the chopped bottle gourd, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until the bottle gourd softens slightly.

Step 4

Add the grated coconut and tamarind to the sautéed mixture. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool down slightly.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the roasted urad dal and salt, and blend until smooth. Add water gradually to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 6

For the tempering, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add the dry red chili and fry for a few seconds. Pour the tempering over the chutney.

Step 7

Serve the sugar-free sorakkai chutney with idlis, dosas, or rice.
