Kadhamba chutney / Kadamba Chutney

Here is a tasty, easy to make and flavorful chutney, suitable to serve with most South Indian breakfast items like idli, dosa, paniyaram and uthappam.

Kadhambam / Kadhamba means "mixture of" in Tamil.  In this recipe, I have used many Ingredients in one chutney, to give a delightful taste.

The colour of the chutney depends on quantity of greens you are adding. I usually add more greens in my chutney, so that it is not just a tasty choice but healthy as well.

Do try this spicy, flavorful chutney and give your feedback!
