Method
Get ready by wiping the kadai and mixie jar fully dry. Pick the curry leaves, rinse them, and pat them completely dry before frying. This takes about 3 minutes.
Dry-roast the chana dal in a kadai on low flame for 7 minutes. Stir often until it turns golden brown and smells roasted. Remove onto a wide plate.
Dry-roast the urad dal in the same kadai on low flame for 3 minutes until it changes colour and smells roasted. Add the dry coconut and roast for 1 minute until lightly coloured. Remove onto the plate.
Heat oil in the kadai on low flame for 1 minute. Fry the dry red chillies and curry leaves for 1 minute until the chillies are puffed and crisp and the leaves are dry. Do not let them turn black; remove onto the plate.
Cool all the roasted ingredients on the wide plate for 10 minutes until they are no longer warm to touch and fully dry.
Grind the cooled roasted ingredients with tamarind, jaggery, salt and asafoetida for 2 to 3 minutes. Stop once or twice and grind to a coarse or fine dry powder as you like. Do not add water.
Store the chutney pudi in a clean, dry airtight jar. Use only a dry spoon each time.
