Wadi Chutni

   This recipe was taught to me by my Oriya friend. It is very simple and tastes fantastic. Those who like raw garlic taste they will like it. Its one of my favorite chutny. All the ingredients are readily available, you will have to search urad dal (black gram) wadi. These wadis are sun dried.

This is urad dal wadi. It is roasted till golden brown in color with 2 tblsp of oil. It can b deep fried to make it crispier.

In a mortar with pestle (khal batta) take 7-8 flakes of garlic, 1 medium onion chopped, and green chillies as per taste, grind coarsely.

Add roasted wadi in it and grind coarsely. Sprinkle a pinch of salt.

 Delicious chutny is ready. Its a side dish can be accompanied with dal and rice.


Tip: Must try this.
