THOGARI BELE CHUTNEY

THOGARI BELE CHUTNEY

Chutneys are commonly made in South India as accompaniments of our popular breakfast items such as dosas, idlis etc. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for different types of chutneys such as:-

In my last post we had sampled Southekayi Dosas in which we make use of cucumbers. I had mentioned there that these dosas taste great in combination with a chutney made with thuar dal. We call this chutney Thogari Bele Chutney as Thogari Bele is the Kannada word for Thuar Dal.

This Thogari Bele Chutney is easy to make and I am sure you will enjoy this as much as we do!
