Last week we had my friend’s family over here and we had a fantastic time reliving our childhood memories. While i was making dosas for all of them one night, she was sharing her mother in law”s chutney recipes. All the recipes she shared sounded so delicious and i tried this ellu chutney on the next day itself. I posted that on Instagram too. This is the first time i am tasting ellu chutney and i am addicted to this chutney. Few other chutney recipes which she shared will be posted in Jeyashri’s kitchen soon.
