I know some of you must have thought that you read the last of our adventure in Ahmedabad right. Well you are wrong, we still kept one in store to talk about our adventures, this is comes with a recipe, albeit a simple and short one. I was almost so reluctant to even make a post just for a simple relish like this.
But then the experiences I had with this Fresh Green Garlic and the subsequent adventure I had surely called for a special post. After all this is going to be the only recipe that would represent a season different from what I am used to. I have lived all my life in a place that boasts of three seasons, hot, hotter and hottest! Mind you, this has never actually lessen my love for my place. Yet I dream of a white day happening here. Yeah you think the heat must be getting to me.
It may not be far from truth, anyway coming back to the recipe, as I said this is a such a recipe that you might think I would do off memory. Well even for this I had to call up Vaishali and she sent me steps. That's ultimate, anyway I was looking into my BB couple of times, to be very sure I wasn't making a mistake. Now after seeing Vaishali post I am happy. I was so worried that I might have made a mistake. Of course after that I saw Rajani had made a chutney that can be called a chutney.
I served this on side with Parotta and Paneer Butter Masala. We found this little pungent for our taste. We hoped it would settle down by days. We also stuffed in rotis to make garlic parathas. I tried explaining to Athamma that this is purely a winter ingredients. Hailing from a very similar and living in a place that has no seasons, it was hard for her to understand. And these days there is nothing called seasons. Apples, if I remember right used to be available during December, now it's available year through, so many other such ingredients as well. So while I ponder and check on the other recipes that's going to come, check out the pictures.
This is the first picture I took after landing from Ahmedabad, with the new found knowledge of meddling with my DSLR and love how the picture came out, if I may say so myself. I am a person who calls a spade as spade, in this case my first pretty picture!

Suma Gandlur says
Valli, seeing white around you for half of the year is not fun either. Besides if one has to do their own snow cleanup, it is hell. 🙂
Still I would pick the cold, harsh weather over hot, humid Chennai weather. Right now spring in our parts is still playing hide and seek and we are almost at 0 deg C even a couple of days ago. I so planned to go with summer recipes. In that way at least I can enjoy the summer (milder one of course) through blogging.
I don't eat garlic and so don't know whether I have seen green garlic anywhere and had paid attention to it. Interesting recipe.

yummy n simple...
Archana Potdar says
Like Rajani says I loved your description of Chennai hot, hotter and hottest. 🙂
I used mine in regular cooking now I am hopping mad at myself for not doing the obvious checking Vaishali's place for this recipe. This year I will plant a bulb of garlic and pray that I get green garlic. Better still I will plant a seed in the framer's head. Yes That way I do not have to pray, sweat or get frustrated that the rats got my green garlic!!
Yes then I get this awesome chutney and the awesome picture too. By the way the pic is awesome.

this year has been magical for me, our granny (husband's maternal gran) planted fresh garlic for me in a small planter that has been blooming till date since winter started, I enjoy this kind of chutney or relishes often, this is quite addictive
