Lockdown Herbal Chutney (2 methods)

Hi all..So I m here with a special Chutney recipe, which is a real healthy one for sure..I named it as lockdown chutney since the ingredients used in the recipe r very essential in curing mucus, sinusitis etc., and protect us from the pandemic in this lockdown situation..Also, I have given 2 methods with slight variations between the two, n both came out so good..So, try this Herbal Chutney atleast once in a week and lets save ourselves!! Now, let's see how to make it..

Pineapple Capsicum Chutney

Pineapple Capsicum Chutney..The name itself sounds quite different ryt? Capsicum chutney is a common recipe and u might be familiar with it, but adding pineapple with it is something uncommon..I experimented it with some leftover pineapple pieces and leftover capsicum, and the experimentation with the combined leftovers was successful..Since pineapple is added, u can feel the sweetness and sour taste along with the spiciness given by the other ingredients..You can have it with Idli, Dosa, Bread, Chapati etc..Especially kids will lov it..For elders, u can add more spiciness as required..A must try recipe with pineapples..

Angaaya Podi

Angaaya Podi(அங்காயப்பொடி)..An authentic, healthy recipe of Tamilnadu, where spices and herbs with great medicinal value are dryroasted, finely powdered and stored..There r a lot of Podi recipes in Tamilnadu cuisine like Paruppu Podi, Idli Podi, Curry leaves Podi etc etc..Angaaya Podi is one such recipe which is not much  familiar to the current generation ppl..However, it is slowly getting popular again nowadays..This is a very helpful recipe for all of us and u will agree with it once u go through the ingredients..Sprinkle some Podi on hot rice, mix well and taste it, or jus hav it mixed with or without oil as a side for idli or dosa..It is very tasty as well..

Thanjavur Dangar Style Urad Dal Pachadi

Thanjavur Dangar Pachadi..A perfect traditional recipe commonly practiced among the Thanjavur region Dangar Category people, in which urad dal is used to make curd pachadi..This is an almost forgotten recipe which is less in practice even among Tanjore people nowadays..I found this recipe while I was searching for some pakka traditional recipes..Made this on a night and stored it to be used for the next day morning..Traditionally it is used as a side dish for rice, but I used it for tiffins, and it tasted greatt with Dosa the next morning..You can try it with rice too guys..It is one of the easy ways to intake the healthy urad dal, so definitely u can feed ur kids too..Now, moving on to the recipe..

Kaara Chutney

Kaara Chutney is another must accompaniment for idli/dosa in South Indian restaurants..Spicy lovers lyk me will jus lov it..It's somewhat closer to the usual tomato chutney that we make, but the amount of spicy is what makes it different..
