I will first list few health benefits of Curry leaves as usual 🙂 . [Courtesy: thehealthsite.com]
*Curry leaves are rich source of iron and folic acid, due to which it helps to fight anaemia.
*Curry leaves protects our liver due to the presence of highly effective anti-oxidant kaempferol.
*Maintains blood sugar levels.
*Reduces the side effects of chemotherapy.
Curry leaves have many more health benefits as well.
May be because of so many health benefits our elders always add curry leaves in all possible dishes and ask us to eat it. My mom also does the same but I don’t eat curry leaves at all 😉 . Like all moms my mom tries to hide curry leaves in all possible dishes so that curry leaves reaches our tummy somehow. She prepares curry leaves thambli, curry leaves chutney powder and curry leaves chutney in which curry leaves are hidden and these are my favorites too!!!!I am sure, it will be liked by you people as well!!!
This chutney is prepared by grinding roasted curry leaves and few other ingredients with coconut. This chutney goes well with dosa, idli, upma, ragi idli, oats tomato omelette, cabbage dosa, chapathi, roti, rave rotti and rice as well. Since we are not using green chillies in this chutney, it stays good for few hours. Thus making it a good lunch box option as well.
