Kandi Pachadi | Toor Dal Chutney

As I mentioned in my previous post I'm stuck with arranging my house for In-Laws. All I want to do is make them feel comfortable in our house. I'm all most done & gearing up on making some recipe ahead to  blog uninterruptedly. 
Today I wanted to share a Andhra delicacy "Kandi Pachadi"with you all. This chutney goes well with rice & dollop of ghee. I love it having as a side for roti & naan too.

 I have some more to share with you all too.... I have started my own photography page on Facebook - Sree's Photography.  Do check it out friends. I would love you all dropping by there & reviewing me.
