Thengai Pottukadalai Chutney / Roasted gram and Coconut Dip for Idly and Dosa

There are a few dishes we normally ignore to blog just because we make it almost everyday thinking, "ah! who wants this recipe. I better not bring it to light" Thengai Chutney is one such recipe, I had never wanted to bring out.

Soya Kheema Fritters

Before I go on with the recipe, I have a request to the bloggers, presumably the enthusiastic new bloggers. I try my best to visit you back from the comment section down, but lately I see lot of you linking your Google+ account with your names.
