Karpooravalli/Omavalli Leaf Chutney

     Karpooravalli/Omavalli, after (big) long hunt for this medicinal plant, finally got a stem cutting from a friend and planted this when its exactly an inch height but now its growing like a bush. As I don’t want to cut and throw the extras, asking friends for the recipe and here got this chutney with no strong smell of karpooravalli.

INGREDIENTS:

Karpooravalli Leaf	7 Nos.
Coriander Leaf	1 cup
Coconut Pieces	6 Nos.
Red Chilly	3 Nos.
Urad Dhall	1 spoon
Tomato	1 No.
Ginger	1 1/2 inch
Salt	To Taste
Oil	2 spoons

METHOD:
     Heat a spoon of oil in a pan. Add urad dhall, red chilly to your taste, a small piece of ginger. Keep sauteing for 2 minutes. Then add small sized diced tomato and piece of tamarind and saute it for another 2 minutes and now add the washed and cut karpooravalli leaves and i added some coriander leaves too (as it was the first time, was worried about the karpooravalli’s strong smell just to mask it i added coriander leaf), give a quick saute and add some coconut pieces. Switch off the flame, allow it to cool. Grind it and temper it with mustard.
