PaDwaLachya KowaLya biyanchi ChaTNi

PaDwaLachya biyanchi chaTNi

As I mentioned in my earlier post, If the Padwalachi bhaji/vegetable is tender, seeds have to be. I made spicy chaTNi out of it. It doesn't last long and is to be consumed on the same day because of the water content in it. Also it has a slight laxative effect so be easy on it.








Ingredients
1/2 cup tender seeds of PadwaL/snake gourd
1 green chili( roasted on gas flame directly)
 coriander leaves(optional)
1 tsp roasted peanuts/roasted sesame seeds(optional)
1-2 tsp grated coconut
 salt & sugar to taste
1 tsp curd/tamarind/lemon juice/ raw mango (for sour taste)

Tempering (optional)
Oil
mustard seeds
asafoetida


Method
  • Roast seeds and chili on the hot griddle on medium flame. ( I roast the chili directly on the flame it tastes different)
  • Grind all the ingredients finely . Serve with dal-rice or as a sandwich spread.
  • If using  curd as a souring agent, mix it after grinding.
    Tempering is optional.
