Easy and tasty recipe…. finger licking…. thank you Mam 😁
Thank you.
I made this today for my oats dosa, but did not have tamarind so I used some anaardana but came out well except I could cleeearly imagine it would have been v tangy with the tamarind. So I added some idli podi by the side n was suppppper yummy having them mixed ! @kannamacooks is there a better substitute for tamarind ?
Really appreciate this recipe cs i am trying my level best to have some veggie in every meal. Was so lazy to make anything n didn’t want to go for the idli podi as I’m addicted to it and I use more oil then. I also your mushroom peas pulav. It’s my go-to failproof healthy n savoury lunchbox recipe.
Thank you so much. Glad you liked the recipe. Sadly, the flavour of tamarind is something hard to replicate.
Lime juice will work in chutneys.
Tried it tonight for Dosa. It was awesome..very tasty.
Thank you!
Can I use panaivellam instead of vellam???
sure.
Hi, I made the carrot chutney but added a small green chilli to give it a kick. So yum! Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you. Thats a good idea!
Hi Kannamma !
Thank so much for this easy recipe. It barely takes a few minutes!
I made this chutney along with your Vendhaya dosa recipe for breakfast.
I was amazed at how yummy & tangy it tasted. I think it would go well with other kinds of dosas too.
I am from Karnataka & my mother makes carrot pallya in the same way. We use green chillies for the tempering & add freshly grated coconut in the end (and we dont add tamarind pulp).
I was surprised to see this recipe & couldn’t imagine grinding it. The result was fab.
There was some leftover chutney & I used it in my easy cheese sandwich
(slice cheese on one bread & chutney in the other). YUM!
My hubby & I enjoyed it.
Thanks SO much. I look forward to more recipes from you.
Good luck & I wish you a bright future!
Thank you. Glad you liked the recipe.
Tried and loved the chutney
Thank you so much for trying!
