Prepare the chutney by blending coconut, roasted chana dal, green chilies, ginger, and salt with a little water into a thick, smooth paste.
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds and curry leaves until they crackle, then stir this tempering into the coconut chutney.
Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil.
Pour a large ladleful of the fermented batter onto the center of the tawa and spread it slightly to form a thick pancake.
Immediately drop 2 tablespoons of the coconut chutney onto the center of the wet batter and use a toothpick or spoon tip to swirl it into a marble pattern.
Sprinkle chopped onions and cilantro over the top, then press them down gently with a spatula so they stick to the batter.
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the top looks set.
Flip carefully and cook the chutney side for 1 minute, then flip back and serve hot with sambar.
