2. Finally add asafoetida and remove from flame , empty the contents in a plate .
   
3. In the same pan add chopped tomatoes and saute till mushy .
   
   
4. In your blender grind the dal mixture first to coarse bits and then add tomatoes,salt and grind to little coarse paste ( like in picture).
   
   
   
5. Empty the contents in a bowl , in a pan heat oil followed by mustard , urad dal , chillies , curry leaves and saute till brown and add to ground chutney.
   
6. Mix and serve .
   

NOTES :

1. Always saute in low flame for even frying , frying in high flame will results in burning and also raw smell in chutney.
2. Instead of tomatoes you can add tamarind too.
3. In case if you are adding coconut , add it when grinding but it will alter the taste a bit.
