The Many Ways to Consume CurryLeaf Chatni - What is Yours?

[TusharSuradkar]

The KadhiPatta plant also called Curry Leaf plant is found in every Indian kitchen garden.

The leaves of this plant are normally used as an essential ingredient in curry and kadhi.
Kadhi is a boiled preparation of curd, whereas curry is well-known

Besides the curry and kadhi, CurryLeaf is also used to make chatni.
Here are the Ingredients for CurryLeaft Chatni:

List of Ingredients for CurlyLeaf Chatni:

1. Curry leaves that are fried lightly in oil to give it crispiness.
2. Roasted chana or harbabra daal that is yellow ChickPeas in very little oil.
3. Roasted Til i.e. sesame in very little oil.
4. Dry red chilies that are fried mildly to make them crispy and reduce the spiciness.
5. Roasted moong daal in very little oil.

Recipe

1. Put all ingredients together and run through a mixer or a hand-operated stone khalbatta or hamam dasta for the best aroma.
2. This will give it a unique color, texture, and taste that can be varied by the contents of the ingredients.

Health Benefits of KadhiPatta Chatni

This is entirely credited to @Arati from the comments section:

1. Curry leaves are good for health and have many benefits. Daal (Peas) has proteins.

2. Curry leaves help in weight loss, in treating dysentery, constipation, eliminating bacteria, good for diabetics, and eyesight besides useful in healing wounds, burns, and skin eruptions.

Where else to use KadhPatta Chatni?

1. The normal use of a chatni is along with roti or with khichadi.

2. Many people consume chatni along with Shira that is also called suji halwa.

3. I have normally consumed KadhiPatta chatni with plain khichadi.

4. The photo below shows use of the KadhiPatta chatni on a masala dosa to enhance its taste.

What are the interesting ways that you consume KadhiPatta chatni?

[Arati]

wow @TusharSuradkar it looks great. I heard that curry leaves are good for health and has many benefits. Daal (Peas) has proteins, combination of this both is great.

I am going to try this chutney today, By the way How many hours do we need to soak??

Thank you for sharing with us.

[TusharSuradkar]

Thank you @Arati for highlighting the health benefits of curry leaf and the daal.

Didn’t realize it earlier but totally agree.

I think if you use warm water, it should get soaked within 2 hours.

Else in normal water, my wife leaves it for soaking overnight, which I think would be a bit of ‘over-soaking’.

If you observe the second picture, the daal grains are still intact after grinding the mixture in a food-processor or khalbatta.

That is to be ensured, else due to over-soaking, there is the risk of it becoming a paste.

Note that I am not the cook but only the ‘Test Bunny’ to try out the recipe

[Arati]

Yup, Over night may not be a good option, as it will definitely become paste. I will soak it in hot water for two hours. and will post pictures for sure.

You didn’t mention Salt, Salt as per taste I guess.

Thanks again for sharing and responding to my comment @TusharSuradkar

[TusharSuradkar]

Ah, Salt… not to be forgotten That’s the difference between a master chef, that is you @Arati , and a “test bunny” that is me

कढी पत्त्याचा वापर जरी भाजी, आमटी, चिवडा यामध्ये जरी मुबलक प्रमाणात असला तरी त्या पानांची चटणी हा प्रकार मला तरी नवीन आहे.
एका रुचकर दिसणाऱ्या पदार्थाची रेसिपी सादर केल्याबद्दल धन्यवाद.

@TusharSuradkar
परंतु, दुसऱ्या एका पानांची चटणी मात्र आग्रहाने वर्षातून एकदा खावी लागते त्याची येथे आठवण झाली.

[TusharSuradkar]

नमस्कार @C_T
चिवडा आणि आमटी चा उल्लेख करायचा विसरच पडला
टिप्पणी बद्दल आभार

आणि दुसऱ्या कुठल्या पानाची चटणी आपण खातो याबद्दल नक्की सांगावे
ते देखील वर्षांतून एकदा ?
@Shrut19 @Rohan10 @Arati तुम्हाला काही guess करता येईल का?

[Arati]

Thank you for tagging me @TusharSuradkar

See, there were two things which came to my mind, 1. We usually eat Neem leaves on Gudi Padva, that to once in a year, but of course we don’t make any chutney out of it for sure

2. I believe on Ganesh Chaturthi we make some special leaves curry to offer god and also we eat that, am not sure about chutney but we surely make curry out of it.

If anyone of the above is correct then, thanks to me , if not then we need to wait for @C_T to reveal that. I would literally appreciate him for the puzzled question which he kept in the comment session. quite interesting though.

Thank you.

नमस्कार @TusharSuradkar भाऊ. खूपच मस्त चटणी आहे. पाणी सुटले तोंडाला. चटणी शिवाय मजाच नाही. हो कि नाही? @C_T कुठल्या चटणी बद्दल म्हणत आहे याचा मी पण विचार करत आहे. बाकी पोस्ट खूपच मस्त आहे. इथे शेअर केल्याबद्दल खूप धन्यवाद.

Thanks for the recipe and highlighting the benefits of this healthy chutney @TusharSuradkar I never tasted this before but will surely give it a try.

[TusharSuradkar]

Those are good guesses @Arati

I was aware of but never practiced eating the neem leaf for a long time now.

[TusharSuradkar]

Thanks @Mutaz1 I am glad you like the article and the dish

Please share a close-up photo of the chatni when you make - it would be interesting to see how it comes out.

Your Youtube channel is not linked to the site, perhaps the hyperlink is missing.

आभारी आभारी मित्रा
नक्कीच! बेचव किंवा कमी तिखट पदार्थाना लज्जत आणण्यासाठी चटणी सर्वोत्तम उपाय आहे
@C_T नि गुगली टाकलाय, वाट बघूया, किती जण ओळखू शकतात हि मोठी उत्सुकता आहे, सर्वांना

[TusharSuradkar]

Thank you @fasi6083 I am sure your, with due respect, talented better-half will definitely make it an interesting side-dish

Thanks for your nice comments my friend @TusharSuradkar

So kind of you my friend for reviewing my post

[Shrut19]

नमस्कार**…**

** @TusharSuradkar **

मस्त दिसत आहे तु सामाईक केलेली चटणी, मुळात मी कडिपत्ता कोथिंबीर ची चाहती आहे, व माझ्या जेवण बनवायच्या पद्धतीत मी भरपूर प्रमाणात यांच्या संयुक्त उपयोग करते, इतकंच नव्हे तर मला हे कच्चेहि खायला आवडतात…

वर्षातून एकदा हा प्रकार माझ्या कडे नाही, टॅग बद्दल आभार…

[C_T]

@TusharSuradkar
पानांच्या चटणी संदर्भात एक साधे विधान गुगली मध्ये रूपांतरित होणे हे आश्चर्य आहे.
कदाचित माझ्या आद्याक्षरातील C एका गुगली गोलंदाजाच्या नावाबरोबर जुळतो त्याचा हा परिणाम असावा.
परंतु
@Arati
यांनी थोड्या प्रमाणात ते बरोबर ओळखले आहे.

आपल्या संस्कृतीचा एक विशेष म्हणजे वर्षाची सुरवातच कडू खाऊन करणे.
पण कडुनिंबाची पाने नुसती खाणे अशक्य. त्यामुळे त्याची चटणी केली तर ते थोड्या प्रमाणात ते सुसह्य होते.
एका प्रसिद्ध मंदिरामध्ये देखील गुढी पाडव्याच्या दिवशी ही पानांची चटणी आवर्जून देऊ केली जाते, हे आणखी एक विशेष.
