Dangar chutney, Dangar side dish for idli dosa

February 19, 2021 by Raks Anand 5 Comments / Jump to Recipe

dangar-chutney

Dangar chutney is a spicy side dish for idli, dosai, paniyaram with red chillies, garlic, onion and tamarind as main ingredients. Step by step photos.

I never know about this chutney but only recently saw few fellow bloggers posting this. Wanted to know why it is called dangar chutney but could not find. Although Dangar pachadi has some explanation that Dangar is nothing bur urad dal in Marathi. Not sure why this chutney got this name.

Also, the name ‘chutney’ means, these days, a side dish with ground ingredients. But it is very common at our households to call gravy also as chutney. For example, the onion tomato gravy for idli I posted is called chutney only at my home.

I named it gotsu just to make it familiar. Also the yam gravy, yellow pumpkin gravy all called chutney at home. This dangar chutney is similar to our onion tomato gravy that I posted earlier, but different from our regular cooking style.

This has garlic, tamarind and tomato in it. Usually we do not add tamarind as well as tomato in gravies at home. So this is super different flavour and taste for idli when I made it.

Love to watch in quick video to understand more?

Here’s a quick video over how to make Dangar chutney.

The chilli we use lends a lot of flavor to the chutney. Also tamarind and jaggery adds a new dimension in taste from our regular style of cooking. Vj loved it a lot and I too liked it. I saw some people make it without tomato too. That way, I guess it also keeps good for longer time in shelf. Recipe adapted from here.

It was perfect pair for the cloud soft first batch of idli from the fresh ground idli dosa batter. Totally enjoyed it.
