KADAMBA CHUTNEY
Kadamba Chutney is the simple and easy chutney variety that goes well with idli , dosa, upma and paniyaram. Kadamba means "mixture of" in Tamil. This chutney is the combo of onion,tomato,ginger,garlic,chilies,tamarind,coconut,mint and coriander leaves along with the roasted urad dal.
