I've been following your blog for quite a while and enjoying your wealth of good recipes. When Foodista announced that they are going to publish the best food blogs in a full color book that will be published by Andrews McMeel Publishing Fall 2010, I naturally thought of you.

@Neela, I will try ur version next time. Thanks a lot for giving me detailed recipe :)

@Tejal, I have used tamarind pulp here and not paste. just remember to remove seeds and any impurities before using the pulp.

Hey, this is my first visit to your blog, and by God I'm hooked. I am a gujju by heart but 5 yrs of studying in Manipal (k'tka) has made me a southie by taste. I long for pickles, podis, and chutney that my friends from Andhra, kerala and K'taka would bring with them to the hostel. The spicy curries with rice..its been 10yrs but I'm still yearing for that typical taste.

I do have a query, with this recipe, instead of tamarind paste, can i use the ready-made pulp available in stores?

Looks Awesome!! I have started using curry leaves a whole lot after I spotted some grey hair ;-)
I googled for home remedies and got a bunch which indicated the benefits of curry leaves.No wonder women from Kerala have such wonderful locks :D. Iam surely gonna add this chutney to my regular meals .

Hi Sia,

I liked this chutney powder, however, I have another recipe of curry leaves powder which has lots of curry leaves and the base is just urad dal. For the heat, you add black pepper. Try this and this tastes very good with dosa and especially akki rotti or simply mix it with chilled yogurt and you can have it with almost anything!
You will need curry leaves, thoroughly cleaned and dried - about 2-3 cups
1 cup roasted urad dal,
2 table spoons jeera
2 table spoon pepper (or more according to taste)
1 marble sized tamarind
jaggery/ 1 spoon brown sugar
1 cup dried coconut/kopra
Salt
Dry roast the dal,jeera, curry leaves and pepper, seperately.
Dry roast the coconut also on a very low flame or just put them in any hot pan.
Grind all the ingredients to a coarse powder. This is green in colour because of lots of curry leaves. Try this and let me know if you like it. This gives the absolute benefit of curry leaves as your grandmother used to say!

I am definitely going to make this. I can now get fresh curry leaves from the street behind mine. I only discovered (thanks to my friend Sonia who is visiting from India) that there are curry-leaf trees all around the area where I live. There are quite a few families from Gujrat that migrated to Barbados decades ago and they have the curry leave trees. I have two curry leaf plants in pots growing right now.

I can't imagine my life without curry leaves now.

This looks so spicy, the pics are gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Is this the same thing as "gun powder", my friend from Tamil Nadu once brought me a packet and told me that was gun powder, that tasted heavenly.
