Recipe for South Indian style Guava Chutney for idli and dosa. கொய்யா சட்னி செய்வது எப்படி. Recipe with step by step pictures.

This recipe is from Navamani auntie. She does these unique and interesting recipes all the time. This guava chutney is from her repertoire. She is the most wittiest in the family. There is never a dull moment when she is around. She just cracks everyone up and takes everything so lightly. This is her recipe. She is also from the south of Kongunad – Anupatti, near my husbands place. The food of the region is so different and so elaborate. She also makes the worlds best ghee laden softest obbattu / poli.

Roughly chop 3 guavas (semi ripe guavas). I have used white guavas today. The Indian pink guavas also works really well for this recipe. Remove the seeds and set aside.

When the lentils are getting roasted, add in the red chillies. Adjust the red chillies according to your taste. Add a couple more if you want a spicy chutney. We like guava chutney nice and spicy at home. Roast until the lentils are golden. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate to cool.

    Hi, the recipe sounds amazing. How long will the chutney last in the fridge? Is it possible to preserve the chutney when using open pan boiling method to sterilize jars?

      This chutney does not store well. Needs to be made fresh.

    Hi Mam How are you? I’m a big fan of Local Flavors – Travel XP Channel. I found your website and Youtube channel, surprisingly. Some recipes available in Local Flavors program not available in your blog and vlog. please upload the same. because mostly we are watching this program in TV in night time or some unexpected time. That time we are not able to take note of the recipes. If it’s available in ur blog it’s very very useful to us. Thank you
