First of all, add coconut, green chillies, ginger, roasted gram dal, salt and light water in the mixer and grind them finely. Do not make chutney very thin. Take care of consistency. Do not add too much water in such a situation. Make a thick or thin chutney desired. Take it out in a bowl. Now you add tempering to it. Applying tempering makes the taste even better. Place a pan on a gas and heat it by adding oil. Add mustard seeds to it. When the curry leaves, dry red chili and asafoetida also add curry leaves. Now put this tempering in the sauce and mix it. Tasty coconut sauce for idli is ready.
