A collection of easy side dish for idli dosa

As a true blue South Indian, Idli and Dosa form an integral part of my family’s diet. Idli and Dosa score very high on our preferred breakfast. We love Idli and Dosa for many reasons. They are highly nutritious, quick and easy to make. While making these are a breeze, what to serve as an accompaniment with Idlis and Dosas is always a million dollar question.

How to make a great South Indian Chutney?

Here is a table with combinations that you can use on an everyday basis to whip up chutneys. Scroll down for our collection of recipes with correct measurements and proportions.
