Came across this recipe from a you tube channel called Madras meter. So tasty and flavourful.

Ingredients:

• Curry leaves-2 hand full
• Red chilli-10 nos
• Garlic-3 cloves
• Sesame oil-3 tsp
• Salt- to taste

Method:

• Wash the curry leaves. In a kadai add sesame oil followed by curry leaves.
• When curry leaves turn crispy add red chilli.
• Saute for 2 mins.
• Now add curry leaves,red chilli,salt and grind it by adding little water.
• Finally add garlic with it's skin on and give few pulses.
• Add the remaining oil and mix well.

Notes:

• This goes well with idli and dosa.
• Stays good for 3 to 4 days even without refrigeration.
• Ideal for travelling.
• Tastes better when ground using'ammi'.
• I used mortar and pestel for grinding.
