Carrot Small Onion Chutney | Side dish for Idli / Dosa

After a very long gap due to some family commitments, Iam happy to get back into Blogging and I hope to set aside some time to pursue my passion henceforth.With that note, sharing a humble Chutney recipe today. Though Bakes and Festive recipes are my favourites, I thought it is also essential to touch on the basic everyday recipes as well, being a food blogger afterall. Those calorie dense treats are meant for occasional indulgence,but these easy and everyday recipes make up for our daily menus. Today, its the Carrot Onion Chutney which is an excellent accompaniment for Idli / Dosa.

Kathirikai masiyal | Chidambaram Kathirikai Gothsu | Easy side-dish recipe | No-onion, No-garlic recipe

This Kathirikai Masiyal / Gothsu is an easy side-dish recipe taught by my MIL which can be prepared in under 20mins time. It does'nt involve any complicated procedures, but nevertheless, it is an excellent accompaniment to Idli, Dosa and Pongal. I remember those days at our hometown Tuticorin where my MIL does this often with fresh, tender brinjals harvested from local farms and Iam a big fan of this simple side-dish, especially to go with Dosa. I believe this recipe is one of the many variations of Chidambaram Gothsu, which is prepared at Chidambaram temple as an offering to Lord Natarajar, using grilled brinjal. I love that mild smoky flavour which is not too overpowering with a simple blend of flavouring.
