ABOUT The ‘quick fix’ chana dal chutney! RECIPE

Who can resist these tangy chutneys which can be savored either with plain rice, idlis, dosas, rotis or even upma? This time it is the versatile chana dal chutney. Due to its low glycemic index, this chutney is suitable for diabetic patients. It is a quick fix chutney and can be prepared in less than 20 minutes! I remember my mother making this chutney with great ease and it always turned out to be very tasty. I have shared my mother, Ramani’s recipe here.
