Pottukadalai Chutney | Porikadalai Chutney | Fried Gram Chutney Recipe

Pottukadalai Chutney | Porikadalai Chutney | Fried Gram Chutney Recipe

Fried Gram Chutney(Pottukadalai Thogayal/Pottukadalai thuvaiyal in Tamil) is my favorite side dish for rice. If we go outside and do not have time to prepare for dinner or feeling tired, I ask my mom to cook rice and Pottukadalai chutney for dinner. It tastes so well when we mix it with rice and add some ghee. Also, it tastes good to have with rice and curd. Try this Pottukadalai Chutney at your home and make your cooking easier. You can have fried gram chutney as a side dish for Idli or Dosa too. But, i prefer to have only with rice.

Hello friends,

I would like to start this post first by telling you that making Paneer is not at all a calculus problem. Making Paneer at home requires very minimal effort and it is as simple as addition problem.Homemade Paneer is very good for health and great nutritious food item for kids.  Read more to find out how to make Paneer at home.  The instruction may look lengthy but they are very easy steps explained in a well descriptive manner.

I do not prefer buying Paneer from outside for two reasons. I cannot have the assurance of quality. It has very less shelf life and I am not getting fresh paneer packs most of the time. If I buy Paneer outside I am forced to prepare Paneer recipes continously at least 2 to 3 times to avoid wastage. These reasons forced me to try Paneer at home. I make it fresh and consume it in the next day. Yes, I use 500 ml milk and make Paneer. I use it in the next day for preparing some gravy with Paneer. Check the Paneer Butter Masala recipe in restaurant style here.

I have made Paneer lot of many times at my home. But I got time to shoot the step by step pictures only this time since my mom is taking care of all the work :-) I am totally relaxed. Just giving food for my kid, enjoying with family and spending my free time with my blog. Nice na..

Vegetable Kurma/veg kurma is the best unbeatable side dish for Chapathi. I am sharing how to make mixed vegetable kurma in hotel/restaurant style here. It goes great with Poori also.
