Gunpowder Chutney originates from South Indian cuisine and is renowned for its bold flavors and versatility. Traditionally crafted from a blend of roasted lentils like urad dal and chana dal, dried red chilies, aromatic curry leaves, and sesame seeds, this spicy condiment is finely ground into a powder that can be mixed with oil or ghee. Its name stems from its fiery taste, which delivers a flavorful kick to rice, idli, or dosa. Nutritionally, Gunpowder Chutney offers a good source of protein and fiber from the lentils and healthy fats from sesame seeds. The curry leaves contribute beneficial antioxidants and vitamins. However, the high salt content and the use of oil or ghee in preparation may pose concerns for those monitoring sodium or fat intake. This traditional chutney is an explosion of flavor that balances rich nutrition and indulgence when consumed in moderation.
