Besan chutney/ Bombay chutney/ kadalaimav chutney/ chickpea flour chutney

This is the recipe I got from my mother in law, from the day I tasted this it became my fav side dish for chapati, it’s the quick and easy to do. It basically need very few ingridients..

Bombay chutney recipe has very similar to indian kadhi recipe, but with a thicker consistency. generally, it is served with south indian breakfast recipes like idli and dosa, but my personal preference would be with deep fried poori or even with chapati for dinner. Typically if i am not in a mood to make some veggie curries , i end up making this recipe. it hardly takes minutes to make this recipe and the only vegetable required is finely chopped tomatoes.
