Authentic chutney Powder | Chutney pudi
ಚಟ್ನಿಪುಡಿ ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ
This is an authentic chutney powder/pudi recipe from Karnataka, which we prepare since ages. This can also be called as dry chutney as well as instant red chutney at times. Later on all the different varieties of chutney powder existed.
Chutney Pudi/Powder is a staple condiment in many south Indian house-hold like Pickles & wet chutney. This is a ground dry mixture of dry roasted lentils, herbs & spices, considerably more amount of dry coconut, small amount of both jaggery and tamarind and thus has the combined taste of spice, sweet, sour and salt.
This is purely an accompaniment, eaten in small quantities like Pickle, chutney etc to enhance the overall taste of different dishes on your plate. The best combination we like the most is, chutney powder mixed with curd paired with rice flour rotti – Our own Karnataka Special !!
In Karnataka, chutney pudi is mixed with steamed rice and little ghee (in small amount). Or combined with plain curd / yogurt and served as a dip with all types of rotis or rotti. It is also mixed with puffed rice, beaten rice/rice flakes etc and served as evening snack. There is nothing like homemade chutney Pudi. Below is the procedure to prepare the same at home easily.
