Kadhamba Chutney

IMAGERY:

             Its always usual thing to have chutneys with onions, tomatoes, mint, coconut, coriander or the combo of any of these ingredients. Something interesting strikes on thinking of having all the ingredients as a combo. And we call it a Kadhambam when we have a variety of things all put together. Kadhambam can be made by mixing ingredients of our choice.

            This choice of ingredients came out much tastier and I got good comments from my mom. Feeling bored of the regular chutneys, just have a try of making kadhamba chutney.

Urad dal - 1 tsp
Chana Dal - 1 tsp
