Cranberry Coconut Chutney(Simple & Healthy)

This is a very tasty tangy chutney.There is no cooking in this except for seasoning.All raw ingredients are used in preparation of this wonderful chutney.It has the combined goodness of the Cranberries and Coconut.
I was running out of cranberries and can't find them in the shops either.Thanks to my friend "S" that she remembered I like to use cranberries in my cooking.She shared with me the cranberries which in turn were given to her by her colleauge who has a farm and hence this delicious chutney today.

Let's see how this delicious chutney is made-----------


Main Ingredients :
------------------
Fresh Cranberries..............................1cup
Shredded Coconut ............................1cup
Green Chillies................................... 4/to taste
Cilantro.............................................few sprigs

For Seasoning :
----------------
Canola Oil.............................. 1 Tbsp
Mustard seeds ........................1 Tsp
Cumin/Jeera Seeds .................1 Tsp
Urad Daal...............................2 Tsp
Chana Daal.............................2 Tsp
Turmeric.................................1/2Tsp
Red Chilly.............................. 2
Hing/Asafoetida ................... 1/4 Tsp
Salt........................................to taste

Preparation :
-------------


Place the washed cranberries, fresh (frozen coconut can be used too) coconut, green chillies, cilantro,turmeric and salt in the blender and blend it well. Once the mix is ready keep it aside.


Now take a pan and place it on the stove and turn on the heat. Add oil to the pan, once it is heated up add mustard seeds. Later add jeera, chana dal, urad dal, red chillies and hing.


Once the seasoning is ready switch off the stove, let it cool down a bit.


Add it to the cranberry-coconut mix in the blender jar, blend one more time so that the seasoning and the mix blend together.


This chutney goes well with hot rice,or any Indian flat bread.This chutney can be used as a spread on any bread/toast.
