Kadalai Maavu Chutney / Besan Chutney

Most of the times I have wondered what chutney or side dish to make for dosa on a lazy day. My mom thought me this easy to make chutney that goes well with Idly or Dosa. And it tastes so good with idly. Thats so easy to make and you will need very little effort and chopping. I thought of sharing this easy recipe with you and here it goes.
