Procedure
In a frying pane heat 1 tbsp of oil for a min. Put Coconut pieces, Groundnuts, Green Chillies, Jeera in the frying pane. Shallow fry for about 5 min till the coconut pieces are turning brown at the edges.

Put the above contents in Grinder/Mixture jar for grinding. Add Garlic flakes, Salt, Tamarind and a little amount of water for smooth paste. Grind well till smooth paste. And your Idli Chutney is ready.

In a frying pane take 2 tbsp of oil and heat for a minute or two. Put in 1/2 tbsp mustard seeds, 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds, couple of Red Chillies (dry), few Curry Leaves and shallow fry for a minute. Add the chutney to this and fry for a minute or two. And you have given the "Tadka" to it.

Author's Note
This is a perfect side dish with Idle or Sada Dosa, Moong Dosa or Upma. This chutney has to be consumed in a day or two (storing in freeze if for more than one day).
