5 Chutneys That Make Idlis and Dosas Iconic
Idlis and dosas have always been my comfort food, but honestly, they wouldn’t feel complete without chutney. I’ve spent countless mornings tasting, tweaking, and sometimes spilling chutneys while experimenting with coconut, tomato, peanut, and even fiery red chilli versions. Chutneys aren’t about extravagance; they’re about the aroma, the zing, and the memories of family breakfasts, rainy-day snacks, and festival mornings that felt extra special because of them. They turn simple meals into moments of joy, laughter, and connection, making every bite more than just food.
