Karuvepillai Thuvaiyal/Curry Leaves Chutney
Curry leaves are the essence of South Indian cooking. They give rich favor & aroma to any dish and they are used in a lot of recipes. Its usually used as a seasoning but here is a recipe with curry leaves as the key player.
One of my good friends Lavanya of famed Home Cook Recipes sent me this recipe to publish here with some wonderful pictures. She was my classmate & roommate in college. I am really glad that she sent us this and it is with pleasure I share this with you. She made this dish and she said it came out very well and she is as excited as me to share it to our readers.
