Toor Dhal Chutney

It’s typical South Indian chutney. It’s very easy to prepare and goes well with hot steamed rice / idli / dosa/ vatha kuzhambu sadam…

I usually have this chutney with hot steamed rice with ghee and papad… It’s really amazing. My mom used to prepare this chutney often.

It should be in thick consistency. If you add ghee with this chutney, kids love to have more idli’s or dosa… Try this tasty authentic recipe and enjoy J
