A few dishes cannot satisfy our taste buds in spite of being tasty and wholesome as few recipes demand something extra. While there are many pickles and chutneys that you can combine, at times you have to do something out of the ordinary. In India, breakfast like dosa, adai, idli which are prepared with rice or lentils are blanch, so without side dishes, some recipes are always incomplete.

Hence, if you get bored eating peanut or coconut, you have kollu chutney for a change. Kollu is a Tamil word for horse gram. It is easily available like any other pulses and also very easy to prepare.
