Mom's cake and it's topping

At around 0830 in the morning, my mom handed out a meal box. The box contained small soft steamed cakes. She then served a thick mixture mainly made of chana dal. Roasted chana dal and red chillies rendered the mixture a strong aroma. I then cut a small piece of the cake, flattened it with my fingers, topped it with the mixture and put it between my teeth. As my teeth cut through the base and the topping, the two blended themselves into one, complementing each other their flavours ang giving a yummm taste. Aren't you drooling already?

That was the well-known idly-parupu chutney for you!
