Street Style Idli and Murugan Chutney (Chutney Without Coconut)

In every street in Mumbai, there’s a South Indian idli vendor who comes in the morning bringing idli and chutney. This chutney is made without coconut, and the idli is super soft. I’m showing you this idli recipe using natural fermentation. You’ll need to plan 24 hours ahead if you want to enjoy this idli. The chutney is very easy and made from basic ingredients—you don’t need sambar or any other condiments.
