This is my favorite chutney period. I make this chutney almost every week and sometimes end up eating this on its own. I love this chutney on the runny side, so that I can dunk my idlis in loads of chutney. This chutney goes very well with idlis / dosas and upma. I love this recipe for its simplicity and how healthy it is.I served this chutney with my favorite idlis and sambar for breakfast this weekend and our plate looked like this.
