Method
Wash the raw mango and curry leaves. Peel the mango, cut away the seed and cut the flesh into small pieces. Grate the coconut, chop the green chillies, break the dry red chilli and pat the curry leaves dry.
Add the raw mango, coconut, green chillies, salt and water to a mixie. Grind for 2 minutes until the chutney is smooth but slightly coarse.
Heat the oil in a small kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add the mustard seeds and fry for half a minute until they crackle. Add the urad dal, dry red chilli, curry leaves and asafoetida, and fry for 2 minutes until the dal is light golden and the curry leaves are crisp.
Pour the tempering over the ground chutney and mix well.
Serve the chutney with rice, idli, dosa or other South Karnataka-style breakfast dishes.
