Chutney Powder

        This Chutney Powder, made out of Pottu Kadalai ( Roasted Channa Dhal ) is very handy, when we are short of time.This can also be used as a thickening agent. It can be mixed with little water, made into a paste and added to any gravy which is watery.It tastes better than Rice Flour as a thickening agent.It is also easier and quicker than Kadalai Mavu or Arisi Mavu which used for thickening take a few minutes to get cooked.
