Curry Leaves Chutney / Karuveppilai Chutney | Side dish for Idli Dosa

Tweet

Curry Leaves is used for most tempering in south indian cooking, but its always cornered while eating.I make curry leaves podi often and stock it up. But I wanted to try karuveppilai chutney for a change and it turned out so good that  I am planning to make it more often. Last week when I saw fresh curry leaves I made this chutney and podi on the same day and clicked it :) I served it with mini oothapams but goes well even with idlis.

3.Heat oil and add mustard seeds and hing - allow it to splutter and transfer the tempering to the chutney and mix well.

• Adding gram dal gives a creamy texture to the chutney.
