Traditionally Idli and dosa are served with Coconut or Peanut chutney. For a change how about serving them with Ginger Carrot Bell Pepper Chutney. This chutney also provides an extra dose of veggies in your diet. This chutney can be on the fiery side due to the addition of ginger and green chilly. But you may choose to reduce the amount of ginger and green chilly to make it a bit milder.
Some of my recipes with which this chutney can be served- Poha Dosa. Instant Oat Meal Dosa, Yogurt dosa, Punugulu, Gunta Ponganalu, Oats Spinach Paratha
