A very simple and easy recipe that can be prepared under 15 minutes. This chutney is quite common in most food push cart kind of small eateries, typically served with piping hot idli or kal dosai. Mostly popular for its thin consistency and the way it gets served. This chutney has this watery consistency, literally diluted with water to improve the portions and will be poured over idli or dosai. Moreover does not include any coconut and still taste good, perfect for the days when you run out of fresh coconut. Light consistency suits well for Bhajji bonda kind of evening snacks too!
