Kollu Chutney Recipe

Kollu Chutney is a popular chutney recipe from the cuisine of Kongunadu.Kollu (Horsegram) has a lot of health benefits and works as a great weight reducing agent esp for cholestrol.I have already tried kollu podi(recipe coming up soon) kollu sundal and kollu rasam. Now this kollu chutney is a new addition to my list of kollu recipes.This pairs up well as a sidedish for idli and dosa.You can even mix it with rice and have it.

This kollu paruppu chutney reminded me of kadala chutney though the taste is not the same the texture is smooth like the peanut chutney and we loved it a lot.
