CHUTNEY PAKODI

Many times, something or the other is left over in our kitchen after a meal. Instead of throwing it away, we should try to use it creatively. When we prepare South Indian food, sometimes some chutney or sambar is left over. We usually use the leftover sambar the next day. But what do you do when chutney is left? When I have leftover chutney, I make delicious crispy fritters out of it.

Preparation time: 5 minutes
