About Pottukadalai Chutney
Pottu kadalai is also known as roasted gram dal or udacha kadalai. It is added to coconut chutney to create a creamy texture. This chutney is super tasty, it goes well with literally most of the breakfast and tiffin items.
Fresh coconut is ground together with gram dal, green chillies and salt. Sometimes my mom adds garlic in this chutney too. The chutney is never let to boil which may change the texture.A flavourful tempering with coconut oil, mustard, urad dal, curry leaves makes this chutney super yummy.
