Kalavai Chutney Recipe | Tamilnadu Hotel Style Kara Chutney

Kalavai chutney recipe

I had bookmarked this Kalavai chutney from Mullai’s blog long back. Being a chutney lover, I was so tempted to try this recipe by seeing the rave reviews in her Instagram page.

Actually I was thinking Kalavai chutney and Kadamba chutney are one and the same. I have already shared a kadamba chutney recipe in my blog. But there are slight differences in the ingredients and method of both the chutney.

After tasting this chutney, I reminded about a kara chutney recipe in a hotel in Thiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu. My MIL and myself loved that chutney a lot. We started to smell and lick the chutney to know the ingredients that went inside. But we couldn't spot on. Now I am so happy that I could recreate the same taste after so many years. Many thanks to Mullai for this wonderful chutney recipe. I have shared more than 70 chutney recipes in my blog. I would say this is one of the best chutney recipes. You must give a try !

Ok friends, lets see how to make this yummy Kalavai chutney recipe for idli dosa with step by step pictures and the video.

Chinna Vengaya Chutney For Idli dosa, Small Onion Chutney Recipe

Small onion chutney

I love onion chutney recipes more than coconut chutney or tomato chutney varieties. And that too this small onion chutney (Chinna vengaya chutney) is my most favorite side dish for idli dosa next to my my mom’s raw onion chutney.

Small onions also known as sambar onion or shallots is one of the costliest vegetables in Bangalore. Its always priced double when compared to Salem, Tamil nadu. So I buy and use it very rarely in my kitchen. But this is my go to chutney recipe whenever I have small onions in stock.

This onion chutney is without tomato or coconut. So it stays good for travel. You can use it for one day at room temperature and up to one week under refrigeration. Tastes the best with hot idli and dosa. Don’t forget to add some gingely oil while serving because it tastes mildly spicy.

Now lets see how to make small onion chutney / chinna vengaya chutney for idli, dosa with step by step pictures and video !

    Plain Kurma Recipe For Idli Dosa – Dosa Kurma Recipe

    dosa kurma recipe
    Basically I like kurma based side dish recipes for idli, dosa, idiyappam and appam. In Tamilnadu people make varieties of kurma type kulambu for idli, dosa and even for rice. Today I have shared an easiest version of plain kurma recipe which is popularly known as dosai kurma. But I personally love it with idli more than dosa. You can also call this as easy tomato kurma as the major ingredients used in this recipe are tomato, onion and coconut. It tastes good with idli, dosa and idiyappam. Its a very simple recipe. Just grind all the ingredients, saute and boil to make kurma.

    Even though we call it as kurma, it should be watery in consistency just like idli sambar. You would have tasted this type of kurma in Kai endhi bavan / street side / road side small hotels.  Myself and Raksha love to have it by pouring this kurma kuzhambu over hot idli and enjoy drizzling with gingelly oil. Friends, do try this easy and yummy plain kurma for idli dosa and share your feedback with me.
