Instant kara poondu chutney, one of the quickest and easiest chutney recipe I tried recently.If you are a garlic lover like me then this chutney is just for you.This is a no cook version except for heating oil,super easy and tastes so good with hot idlis.
I tried this instant garlic chutney and we all soo loved it that I have made it 2 times already on demand.We had it with idli,dosa and as a side dish for curd rice, tastes best!
