Vara milagai chutney is a popular side dish for
idli,dosa &
paniyaram in Karaikudi-Chettinad region.This is one of the easiest chutney recipes & ideal for travel as it is without coconut.I think chettinad kara chutney and vara milagai thuvayal are the same because both have the same ingredients.Friends from Chettinad, please tell me if there is any difference.I would love to try that too.Sendhil doesn’t like spicy side dishes.So i was waiting for a good chance to try this chutney.Yesterday my parents were in my house.As my dad is fond of kara chutney,i tried this spicy red chilli chutney for him.He loved it a lot and told me to pack this chutney with idli for his travel to Hyderabad .Whenever we go to hotels,myself and my dad ask for more servings of kaara chutney than
coconut chutney &
sambar.We are a big big fan of this

.People looking for spicy side dishes must try this chutney.I am sure u will have at least 2 idlies more than your regular intake
