What Is Thanni Chutney?
Thanni chutney is a staple in Tamil households, loved for its spicy flavour. It is commonly paired with South Indian classic dishes such as idli, dosa, uttapam, and more. What sets this chutney apart? It is prepared using a blend of spices, chana dal, and coriander leaves.

To ensure thanni chutney lasts long, make sure to store it in an airtight container. This prevents its exposure to moisture and keeps it fresh for a longer period of time. If you plan to use it within a few days, store it in the refrigerator.
