My last post was Poori - Fried Indian bread, you can click
here and see those golden beauties.
There are few accompaniments that go with poori and this "BOMBAY
CHUTNEY" is one among them. I have
no clue why it is called as BOMBAY CHUTNEY :) even some people call it as
instant sambar. It is also called as
Pitla by Maharashtrian people which varies slightly in seasoning part. Whatever is the name this is perfect
combination with South Indian delicacies like Roti, Poori, Idli, Dosa, Rava
Dosa even with steamed Basmati rice.
This can be prepared in no time with very basic ingredients. We all love this a lot and hope you will
enjoy this accompaniment too :)
BOMBAY CHUTNEY
Ingredients :
Chick pea flour (Besan) - 1/3 cup
Water - 2 cups
Ginger paste - 1 tsp
Green chilli paste - 1 tsp
Onion -1 big (sliced)
Tomato - 1 chopped
Curry leaves - few
Coriander - few chopped finely
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Salt
Oil - 1tbsp
Tempering:
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Channa dhal - 1 tsp
Method:
1. Heat oil in the pan; add mustard seeds, Urad dhal and
Channa dhal. Once the mustard stop
spluttering and dhal changes to golden brown color add onion and curry leaves.
2. When onion turns transparent add ginger and green chilli
paste.
3. Now add tomato, turmeric and little salt.
4. Sauté till the tomato is mushy.
5. Now dilute the Besan with 2 cups of water using a whisk
without any lumps.
6. Add the diluted Besan to the tomato mixture and stir
occasionally.
7. After few minutes the Besan mixtures comes to rolling
boil, and it starts to thicken. You
should not find any trace of raw smell from the Besan at this time. When the desired consistency is reached (when
it cools it thickens so it should not be too thick when it is hot) switch of the flame.
8. Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves.
9. Enjoy with your favorite South Indian Delicacies :)
Nice clicks as always. We also make them very often but call this as readymade/Instant sambar :-)

Superb combo,we just add a small amount of flour to our regular poori masala, this should be also tasting similar to that. Awesome recipe
Never knew it was called Bombay chutney...looks creamy and yum....
Prefect side dish for fluffy pooris..
new to me ...looks just like diluted aloo bhaji...shall want to try it sometime...thanks
Although I've eaten pooris many times in both India and Bahrain, but I don't remember having enjoyed this chutney. Most intriguing--looks great.
This chutney is my most fav one and we usually have it for idli or dosa.Will try on pooris next time. Nice clicks
Will try it very soon. Looks inviting. Nice step by step account.
Looks appetizing ..yummy combo
The name remains a mystery, but its the best thing with puris. I also add some boiled potatoes to it to please Manoj.
This curry is new for me,will try sometime,looks yum,,.
