BESAN CHUTNEY
No,it’s not a chutney which requires grinding.It’s a chutney with gram flour.And tastes great with idlis,dosas and chappathi too.I learnt this from my MIL who used to make this for idlis and dosas.It’s also called bombay chutney,i don’t have the slightest clue why.It’s been ages since i made this just as a brainstrom i got reminded of this and here it is.It is very easy to make and tastes simply awesome.Do try and let me know..
