This Authentic Chutney powder recipe is from my mother. Chutney powders are rich in protein, fiber and spices.There are many varieties of chutney powder. This is always my kids favorite one. If this chutney powder is at home, I don't have to prepare any side dished for dosa, rotti or even for idli. With a dash of home made ghee, you should try the chutney powder with hot rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup channa dal
- ½ cup urad dal
- ½ cup dried shredded coconut optional
