In Tamilnadu, we make many varieties of chutney for Idli | dosa. A small twist or change in the ingredient completely gives a new taste to the regular chutney. We have a lot of chutney recipes in Jeyashris kitchen. Apart from chutneys, many people prefer sambar for Idli | dosa. In our house, I make chutney on most of the days, when I serve Idli | dosa for breakfast. But Whenever I serve it for dinner, I make sambar. Tiffin Sambar, Hotel sambar, arachuvitta sambar or Instant sambar is the most popular one at our house. Personally for me even if I make chutney and sambar, I pair it up with Molaga podi. This street-style Kara chutney recipe is one that is made without onion or tomato. Usually for Kara chutney Onion and tomato are the main ingredients.
