Buttermilk Chutney

Very different chutney that tastes delicious and goes very well with South Indian tiffin items like Upma, Dosa, Adai, Idiyappam, Aapam and Idli. An instant chutney without coconut and a different one from the usual chutney varieties.   I learnt it from my colleague and she said it is made commonly in Rajapalayam of Tamilnadu...
