This is my go to chutney for idli or dosa, it is so easy to make and taste really yummy. I like to have it with idli, dosa or kuzhipaniyaram. I like to add little extra oil for this chutney and the oil which i prefer to use is gingelly oil because of its aroma and taste.

      It's Indian sesame oil. Unlike Chinese sesame oil, it is cold pressed, so the taste is nicer
