Besan Kadhi -edit

This chutney is one of the chutneys most commonly served with the Gujarati snack, fafda. However, it will go well with any fried foods. I included this as part of my Gujarati tea time platter. This chutney really brings out the flavors in the fafda, making it a really delicious snack especially in combination with Papitey Ki Cheen.
