Curry Leaves Chutney is a flavourful, creamy chutney made by grinding curry leaves, spices and coconut. Curry Leaves Chutney is a healthy & a good accompaniment for idli, dosa and uttapam. Curry Leaves Chutney Recipe is explained in this post with step by step pictures.
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.
