Kara Chutney Recipe For Dosa Idli | How To Make Kara Chutney

Kara chutney is an easy and quick chutney recipe. This is a very simple and quick chutney you can make for your idli or dosa.

This chutney can also be used as a dip with other appetizers also. Well, I must say this is a quick alternative to our traditional coconut chutney for Idli & dosa.

This is made with 5 – 6 simple ingredients that are available in every Indian kitchen. Basically this is a spicy tomato sauce. For flavoring add urad dal, curry leaves and tamarind.

This goes really well with any South Indian dish in fact. I have made this recently for my ragi adai, ragi idli, rava idli, and rava paniyaram. It tastes heavenly with any of these items.

You can also try my peanut chutney for your idli and dosa and more such items. This one is also a quick chutney.
