Instructions
First grind the coconut, roasted chana dal, green chilies, coriander leaves, garlic in a chutney grinder or blender with water.
Season the chutney with salt and keep aside.
In a small pan, heat oil on a low flame.
When the oil becomes hot, add the mustard seeds and urad dal.
Keep the flame low.
Let mustard seeds crackle and the urad dal get reddish brown.

Then add the dry red chilies, curry leaves and asafoetida.
Stir and fry till the curry leaves become crisp and the red chilies change color.
