Thanni Chutney

This is a chutney popular in Madurai. Similar to coconut chutney but made without coconut. Roasted chana dal replaces coconut. The other ingredients are almost same as in coconut chutney. More importantly there is no compromise made on the taste and flavour front. Try this and you are sure to enjoy it.
