Garlic chutney recipe
As I promised in my yesterday’s post here is the spicy, tangy, tomato garlic chutney (thakkali poondu chutney) that I had served with Puffed rice dosa. This recipe was shared by my reader Suchi vasan :) This tomato garlic ( Poondu in Tamil, Lahsun in Hindi) chutney is one of the best side dish for this puffed rice dosa. As the dosa has mild sourness this spicy, tangy chutney pairs with it very well. Its also a simple and easy to make chutney recipe with just 3 major ingredients. Not just for puffed rice dosa, you can make this chutney as a side dish for our regular idli dosa and it tastes good with curd rice too. Try it and enjoy. Lets see how to make this yummy tomato garlic chutney for puffed rice dosa !

Hi Chitra.. Last time I had tried Pongal and Sambar recipe it came out really well. Today I wanted to prepare some chutney for the breakfast.. I had immediately checked this section.. Though the recipe looked simple but the combination really tempted me, without any second thought, I had given a try.. It came out awesome.. Thanks again for another wonderful recipe��
