Vengayam Thakkali Kothamalli Chutney

Jump to Recipe

A good chutney is a must when we have idli or dosai for dinner. This Vengayam Thakkali Kothamalli chutney is the best choice to make with wonderful flavor and ease.

Idli and dosai is just incomplete without a chutney to go along with it. There are days when I am short on time and we just eat our idli's with milagai podi, but on most days I need a chutney.

It is me in the whole family who is a chutney fan. Even when eating out at restaurants, I love to sample the different chutney's that they have to offer. Each restaurant has its own special chutney ranging from coconut chutney to peanut chutney to Kara chutney.

I have few chutney's in the blog, but my quest for trying out more chutney's has not stopped. I make onion chutney (vengaya chutney) quite often as it is one of my favorite.

This time I thought I will add some tomatoes and also a big handful of cilantro and here comes a very aromatic chutney, Vengayam Thakkali Kothamalli Chutney.

The acidity from the tomatoes and the subtle aroma of cilantro works really well in this chutney. Make sure to use the stems of the cilantro as it has loads of flavor in it.
