Kasamarda chutney / Elavarige chutney / Kasoundi chutney

 



Elavarige leaves (Kasamarda, Kasoundi, Cassia occidentalis) help improve digestion and cleanse the throat. I grew up eating Tambuli and chutney prepared using these leaves. They can also be used to make Patrode, Dal and rice bath. Sharing here with the recipe of chutney.

Ingredients

Elavarige Soppu - one medium sized bunch
Urad dal - 2 spoons
Red chillies -  8 to 10
Oil - 2 spoons
Grated coconut - 5 to 6 spoons
Tamarind - 1 small lemon sized
Salt to taste

Method

Separate out the elavarige leaves and discard the thick stem. Thin stem towards the edge is good to use. Wash the leaves properly and finely chop them. 

Heat a thick bottomed kadai. Add urad dal, red cillies, oil and roast the same. Transfer the roasted contents on to the mixer grinder jar.


Heat thick bottomed kadai. Add chopped leaves on to the kadai and roast the same. Once water is evaporated add little oil and roast it till its finely cooked (as shown in the photo). Transfer the same onto the mixer grinder jar. 

Grind roasted masala, roasted leaves along with tamarind juice and coconut. Add salt to taste and mix well. 

We can serve this chutney along with rice / chapati / roti etc.
