Ginger chutney is one of the best chutney combination for Pesarattu dosa, it goes great with normal idli/dosa, Millets Idli. as well. Few years back my friends mom taught me this recipe. She can only talk in telugu and though I can understand and speak telugu, it was a big challenge for me to get those ingredients she was mentioning. Finally I took her to the kitchen and made her show me what she was mentioning 😉 Pesarattu was again a recipe which I came to know from her.
