Kadamba chutney recipe, Easy kadamba chutney

kadamba chutney recipe saw this easy chutney in my chettinad cookbook so wanted to give it a try.Usually I look for different chutney recipes or sidedish for idli dosa and this one was different from the usual chutneys.Kadambam in tamil means mixed so this chutney had a mix of ingredients and it is so flavourful.

This kadamba chutney goes well with idli,dosa pongal etc.Actually I had the leftovers with chapthi too and it was soo good.
