Dear Kuganka, thanks for the nice curry leaves chutney and thogayal recipes.

also any simple dishes with tofu.

Thanks Raj uncle... that's a nice tip...but the prob is we have like 4 fully grown karuvepillai TREES and more than 10 plants... so I doubt if we'll ever get to use the powder... we give the leaves to our neighbors and also to the ppl who run those mess near our home... appadiyum niraya waste aagudhu...

dev: You have a great business opportunity! Dry all leaves, powder them and pack them in bottles. Then advertise:

" Home made curry leaf powder from home grown curry leaves. No additives and no preservatives. On sale now. You get two bottles for the price of one. Or you may barter your surplus vegetables and fruits in exchange for curry leaf powder. Hurry up. Offer valid while supply lasts. "

I would have volunteered to be your marketing manager. But, I am too far away!

(The fact is that I was far removed from marketing when I worked! )

kugan,

i am better now. so many curry leaves receipe. my mom makes curry leaves chutney, which is very tasty. specially for travelling this is too good.

curry leaves - 1 hand full (tender leaves)
dry red chilly - 5 big
garlic cloves - 4 medium size
tamarind - one small nellikai size
salt - reqd
tadka - gingelly oil, rai and urad dhal, curry leaves

in a kadai add 1/2 tsp oil, in slow fire, fry red chilly make it sure, it should not turn black. then grind altogether like a fine paste except garlic, once it is ground finely add garlic, again grind to a smooth paste. now give tadka with gingelly oil (may be 2 tblsp), rai, urad dhal and curry leaves. transfer tadka to chutney.

make hot idlis, apply this chutney on top of it, apply some oil and keep it. after 2 or 3 hours have it. idli soaked with curry leaves chutney will be tasty.
