Curry leaves Chutney | Karivepaku Pachadi sidedish Idli,Dosa,Upma
I am so excited to share this easy and super tasty Curry leaves Chutney recipe, it is a great way to get those extra curry leaves greens into our diet. The best part is that you don’t feel the strong taste of curry leaves in this chutney. Curry leaves are also known as Karivepaku, Kadipatta, Karuvepillai etc.
I am blessed with abundance of the great curry leaves and I have to find ways to utilize them. So I came up with this chutney that can be made with just a few ingredients. If you have lot of curry leaves to use them then this chutney recipe is for you.
If you are bored with regular chutneys like coconut chutney. tomato chutney then try this Kadiapatta Chutney, it is a great side dish for idli, dosa, upma and even rice+ghee. I also made this chutney with frozen curry leaves and it worked just fine.
