I've had this chutney, but didn't know the recipe..thanks:)
Wow interesting recipe havent heard of this until I saw it here….shall try it sometime
How much maavu to be mixed with how much water?? 🙂
I have mentioned in the recipe , kindly check
Hi jeyashree..my neighbour gave this chutney and I really love d it..but I tried twice..it didn't come out well.the kadalai mavu flavour at the end when I eat taste raw,though I boil it well in the sim.where I could have gone wrong..
The quantity of besan may be more. The batter should be thin before once you mix and it will get thickened after cooking.
Tried this today with dosa so simple and tasty . Thank you for sharing
Wow!simple ,healthy and tasty chutney.i must try it today…
My favourite dish. This is mostly made in Thanjavur side. We call it Bombay chutney.
