I had a load of curry leaves today and while talking to my mum, told her about this chutney I make sometimes using these leaves. Now curry leaves are mostly used in South Indian cooking as part of the tadka, but you can also make chutneys and thogayals out of it. Here is my version.
Curry Leaves Chutney
Ingredients:
1 cup curry leaves
1/4 cup black raisins
A small sized ball of tamarind
6-7 green chillies
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
1/2 cup raw peanuts
1 inch piece ginger
Salt to taste
Method:
Dry roast the curry leaves until they just start becoming crisp. In the meantime, put
the raisins and tamarind in a small bowl and pour just enough hot water to cover. Once the water has cooled a bit, grind everything together – the curry leaves, raisins, tamarind, chillies, coriander leaves, peanuts and ginger. Add water as needed and grind it to a fine paste. Add salt to taste and you have yummy curry leaves chutney
This is yummy even with bread, idli, dosa etc.
