Curry Leaves Chutney Recipe | Karivepaku Pachadi

This version of Karivepaku Chutney, is yet another delicious spread you can have for your Dosas. You can either serve as a dip or simply spread over cooked dosa, before serving. Athamma makes this chutney quite often during the season when we get fresh curry leaves, which are tender as well.

Since there is no water added when grinding, this chutney stays good for couple of days, and when you refrigerate, it stays for a week. We always have a bottle of either curry leave chutney or podi all the time. This is a healthy option of including it in your regular meal as curry leaves are very good for health and we mostly discard when used in the gravies.

So make this chutney and have a healthy option for breakfast!
