BM #107 Week 2 Day 2 -
For day 2, I have this nutritious chutney which is a staple in many families, specially during the season. If I am not wrong, they are available fresh around the winter months in many parts of India. Please correct me on this, if needed.
I have made this chutney before using different spices. The depth of flavor is so different in both of these variations.

Love this pachadi Harini, yes this is the perfect season for Amla and this year the crop is overwhelming. I have a lot of Amla, will sure try your version.
We almost forgot to add alma in our diet in spite of its nutritious value. Bookmarking this recipe! Will post you how its turned out!
That is such a simple and nutritious amla chutney. I don't use amla as much as I should. Will definitely have to try this simple chutney some time.
I just love usirikaya pachadi, perfectly done Harini. Good one.
This is new recipe for me and looks interesting. We always make pickle or thokku with amla. This looks so simple
