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
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced sorakkai (bottle gourd) to the skillet and sauté for 10–12 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour this tempered mixture over the blended chutney and mix well.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip or side dish.
