MANGO CHUTNEY (MANGA CHAMMANDI)

Mango chutney or chammandi in malayalam it is called is  served with Kanji at home mostly.  We also have it with dosa, idli,plain rice with seasame oil, molagootal rice, dal rice etc.  This can be substituted for a pickle as it tastes sour and spicy.

Varieties of chutneys are made by us like onion chutney, coconut chutney, peanut chutney, green chutney, coriander chutney etc. What about the Mango chutney (manga chammandi), made out of the King of Fruit with coconut, red chilli and bit of tamarind.  

Here   is another favourite item of mine.  But with coconut, I really hesitate to have this due to health issues. You can also make the chutney without coconut if you want.  It is a simple preparation and is heavenly with kanji added with little ghee.

DAHI VADA

Dahi vada is  a  popular dish enjoyed by every one whether it is North or South.    There is a slight variation in the North Indian and South Indian Dahi Vada.  The urid dal vadas are made and soaked it in curd after putting them in hot water, squeezed out the excess water.

In South, the Dahi or Curd is slightly sweetened  and spices are added  but in north it is flavoured with green chutney and sweet chutney and spices.

We love both the version as it is your choice how to make the variation and eat it.  

It is a dish  loved by each and every one specially in summer I used to enjoy this directly from the fridge with lots of coriander on top of it. If the sweet chutney and green chutney is ready in your fridge, then it is every easy to make it.

GINGER CHUTNEY, INJI CHUTNEY, INJI CURRY

Ginger has got many medicinal values. it is good for digestion, cold, nausea etc.   this simple ginger chutney goes along with any mild curry like plain dal, molagootal etc.  it goes along with dosa, idli, upma also.

I tasted  it when I visited my cousin's house at Calicut.  She had made this chutney along with molagootal.

Let us have a look at the simple inji curry which can be prepared within 5 minutes if you have the ingredients in your fridge.

BREAD DOSA

Dosa with sambar and chutney anytime you serve is liked by everyone.  Varieties of dosas are made.  Here I have tried with left over bread and the sides of the bread with some semolina and came out very well.  It is an instant dosa which can be made very easily for unexpected guests.  If you add palak puree in it, you can  make it as Palak dosa.

PALAK DOSA

Green leafy vegetables are always good for health.  Palak or spinach has abundance of Vitamin K & A,  B2, B 6  & C, mangesium, potassium iron (folate), calcium.  It is also a rich source of protein, phosphours and Vitamin E, zinc, dietary fiber, copper and omega 3 fatty acids.  Less calories, fat free, cholesterol free hence need not worry about putting up flab around your tummy.  

I prepared today, Palak dosa for breakfast.  I was totally exhausted and tired so I could not think of making any elaborate dish for the breakfast.  Had 4-5 bread pieces so made dosa out of it.  I have already posted bread dosa and taken most of the ingredients from that plus the blanched palak leaves.

UPPU MANGAI ARACHUKALAKI ( AZHUGU MANGAI,SALTED MANGO) /CHUTNEY)

Uppu mangai,salted mango or azhugu mangai means raw tender mangoes are preserved in salt water.  When the mango becomes very soft and changed its colour to a light yellowish brown colour and able to smash it with hands, at that time it is removed from the Bharani (jar).  This is the old practice my mother used to follow which I am also following. 

Arachukalakki is a side dish served with molagootal, dal rice etc.  It means with little coconut and green chilli, this uppu mangai or raw mango or yam etc. are used to grind to a fine paste or coarse paste,in case of raw mango.

UPPU MANGAI, SALTED MANGO, AZHUGU MANGAI

To be frank with you, I am tracing  all the old  grandma recipes forgotten for the past 40 years of my life in Mumbai.  Whenever iIsee some age  old recipes,  (old is gold) I never miss the chance of tasting it, wherever it may be.

Today when I made mix sprouts dosa (you can make adai also), I was wondering what to make as accompaniment.  Since we are strictly on diet, consuming coconut is restricted hence I cannot make coconut chutney. 

I saw the bottle of mangoes lying in front of me, I said, why not make this today.  Here i am sharing with you this age old recipe with you so that you will also enjoy the same.

Snake gourd chutney, padval chutney, podalangai chutney, padavalanga chutney

Chutneys are accompaniments for dosa, idli, chapati, dal rice, curd rice and can be spread on bread for making sandwiches too.  varieties of chutneys are made.  Here i am presenting Snake Gourd chutney which is very easy to make.

CHERRY AND TOMATO CHUTNEY

 We bought a box full of Cherrys as my childlren love them to eat.  When I made bun dosa, what to make as accompaniment for this as I do not want my husband to eat molagai podi with lots of oil in it.  So decided to make the chutney out of the cherries.  

With cherries alone, I felt, it will not be tasty much as I was not willing to add coconut to it.  So I decided to added tomato with it and boiled it and tempered with mustard seed and curry leaves.

I  am not sure about the nutritional value after cooking the cherries but enjoyed the same with the dosa.  As it was worth posting, here the easy and simple recipe.
