Vegetables can be utilised in many many ways like making them into curries, stir frying them and in India they are used in a wonderful way to make their chutneys which taste delicious and they go as a side dish to all the south indian meals along with pickles.

Being a south indian I just love chutneys and I have decided to post various chutney recipes that can perfectly go with south indian breakfasts and also can go very well with rice.

Vegetable chutneys are one of the best ways to make vegetables and also something that can be stored in refrigerator and use them for later use.

In south india households meals are incomplete without these chutneys and there can be a very slight variation in making these chutneys but every chutney recipe tastes yummy and flavorful.

The basic method of making vegetable chutneys is cooking the vegetable and giving tempering in the end.

Here dosakaya pachadi is made slightly different as I have given the tempering first and cooked the dosakaya along with tomato and then blended the tempering followed by blending cooked dosakaya.
