IDLI CHUTNEY POWDER

Hi SUPERMOMS,

This Chutney powder is a 'friend' to every South Indian mother. It is a perfect companion to Idlis and Dosas. Infact,I love having it with curd ! The Idli Chutney powder is so versatile ! We have a huge bottle of this chutney powder. Just mix a tsp of sesame oil with this Spicy powder...dip the idli or dosa and enjoy!

I marinate the idlis in the powder - oil combination and send it for my kid's school tiffin box . They have never complained! 

If you have been buying this powder from the market....you are missing the joy if making it at home! This recipe will surely help you! 

So easy ,tasty and healthy!

This is my mother's recipe.
