Kadama means a mixture and kadamba chutney is a mixture of vegetables sauteed to perfection and blended with spices.I had this chutney at a hotel in kumbakonam when we were visiting temples of our family deity.The taste was so good,that I couldn’t help asking the people who served with what it was made.And when they told it was a mixture of vegetables I was curious and learnt the recipe from them.I tried this at home many a times but had time to click this weekend at leisure.You can have a variety of choice of vegetables other than I have choosen,this recipe believe me you will end up eating an extra idli or dosa.Even fussy eating children will like this chutney.See below the tasty recipe of Kadamba Chutney..
