For the final day of the BM Edition 8, I thought I should post this chutney that Athamma makes with the Amaranthus or Siru Keerai as we call it. Mostly we make it as Pappu or stir fry. For a change, she wanted to make it as a chutney. It went well with steaming rice.
The last two weeks were wonderful with me trying out new condiments. And for the mela I am sure I am going to get loads of them which will be a great add-on to our regular meal.
Let's check this simple recipe.
