Thanks to your blog We had a very tasty breakfast this morning ..Rava Dosai and onion chutney.
I love this chutney…. def i will try today
Tried this cutney with the Corainder leave variety today.. Turned out yummy.. But i put 3 red mirchi instead of 4.. Became really hot. Had to balance with some salt & jaggery later..
Hi padhunan..how many days wiLloyd the chutneys stay?
1 or 2 days in the refrigerator.
I am but confused. Do we need to grind the prepared seasoning along with tomato , onion , mint mixture. I thought the seasoning is to put on top of ground chutney. Please clarify.
You have to grind the prepared seasoning also with the onion tomato mint mixture. Why confusion – I have written that clearly in the fifth line under "METHOD" that Grind everything together to a slightly coarse paste. Also under "Note" I have written clearly that grind the dal (seasoning) with little tomato mixture first and then add the rest and grind everything together.
Hi, just tried it, this chutney is delicious!!!
