In a small pan; roast the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, dry red chillies, tamarind and urad dal until it releases a roasted aroma and slightly browned.

Now place all of these inside a mixer, add your fresh grated coconut, curry leaves and grind until it is a nice thick paste.

In another pan, a slightly bigger one, heat oil in a pan; add the turai along with a little salt and saute until soft and tender. Turn off heat and allow it to cool.

Add all ingredients to a mixer and blend until it forms a chunky paste, don't blend the turai too much. Add salt as per your taste.

You can also make a tadka of mustard seeds, urad dal, dry red chillies and curry leaves and add it to the top of your Turaee ki chutney. This can be stored upto 5 days in a fridge and is best served with a hot bowl of rice and yummy ghee.
