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.
