AJAWAIN PATTA AMBE HALAD CHUTNEY

ajwain is good for health and got medicinal values.  along with this, if we add some more ingredients which have also medicinal values, then it is worth trying this recipe.  When my neighbour was having some stomach related issues, I made this chutney for her along with idli and she liked it very much. However, the post remained in the draft.

Today, again, I remembered because my daughter was not well hence I made this and decided to post it.  Previously, when I made it, I did not shoot the same.  Today, I have taken the video as well as fresh photograph too.

Since I have got the plant in my balcony, I feel free  to make the ajwain patta  bhajia and chutney any time.

Let us look at the recipe now:

8-10 leaves of ajwain

a small piece of ambe halad (fresh turmeric piece)
