Wow, the chutney looks delicious! We make a similar lentil chutney too - called Paruppu Thogayal. It is made using toor dal, with no cumin and urad dal added in. Shall definitely try out your version some time. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you have made this toor dal chutney. Freshly roasting, then grinding the chutney ingredients and finally tempering it with aromatic spices must have made the dish so flavorful ! Your platter too looks very inviting Aruna!

Loved this protein packed chutney/pachadi.. looks so comforting with rice topped with ghee..
ReplyDeleteThis looks like my kind of chutney, protein packed and so tempting with all that spices and dal. Yum
ReplyDeleteToor dal chutney is aboslutely lip smacking. A life saver when we run out of veggies or bored of regular veggies. Fab recipe Aruna.
ReplyDeleteBookmarked!. We are Thogayal lovers.
ReplyDeleteChutney using toor dal is looking so tempting Aruna.... Love to try this Andhra style lentil chutney sometime surely ! Must be a lovely combo with rice topped with ghee ..
ReplyDeleteTill now I thought that toor dal is only for curries, sambhars, puran puri but you've made me think differently today. Had no idea that it could be used to make a lip smacking chutney or pachadi. Love the tempering for the pachadi. Will have to try it out.
ReplyDeleteExcellent preparation
