Bombay Chutney Recipe | Besan Chutney Recipe
Bombay Chutney is a slightly different and delicious accompaniment to dosa/ idli/chapati/ poori. It is not only unique, but also very simple to make. A mild, yet flavorful dish, bombay chutney is a great substitute to the usual accompaniments served daily.
Quick and easy to make Bombay chutney (Besan Chutney) is served as an accompaniment for idli, dosa and even for roti’s. Most of us often make sambar or chutney to go with idli/dosa but sometimes, we also want something different or unique to serve with our traditional dishes. This Bombay chutney would be the perfect dip. This easy and tasty besan flour chutney is prepared with onions, tomatoes, green chilli, besan flour, lemon, turmeric powder, etc.
Whenever, I make this yummy Besan Chutney, I will make it in a thin consistency to be served with Idli / Dosa. If I make for Roti, I will make it thick in consistency. I have also seen many people add potatoes in this chutney, but I prefer to make this very simple only with onion and tomato. Also, in this Bombay Chutney, I won’t add any masala, its just the spice from the green chili.
