Ellu Chutney, also popular as sesame seeds chutney, is a popular side dish in South India. The dish with its nutty, unique flavor is distinct and special. Ellu Chutney is prepared by grinding roasted sesame seeds along with dried chilies, tamarind, and other ingredients. Adding coconut to this thuvaiyal gives great texture and taste to this recipe. You can prepare it even without coconut. You can serve with idly or Dosa. The chutney pairs very well with rice gruel or kanji too. It takes very little time for preparing this thuvaiyal. In South Indian cuisine, sesame seeds are often used. Sesame seeds are a major source of copper, manganese, calcium, and other minerals. The nutritious chutney is one of the easiest dishes that requires little time.
