Vepillakkati, is made out of the wild lime / kaffir lime leaves. I am lucky to have the plant in our society and whenever, we want it, I used to go and pluck the leaves to make this.
It is a form of pickle which can be stored for quite sometime in the fridge. It is very good in taste and can be served with Curd rice, Molagootal rice or Dal rice. I used to take the pain to grind the same in the grinding stone as Ural and Ulakka is not available in Mumbai. I have a small grinding stone in Mumbai and used to make this as the taste of it is awesome than ground in the mixer.
Recently, I saw the post in Jayashree's kitchen which is made in mixer. Though it is an easy method, but I found the ancient method more tasty. It takes a long time to grind or break it in the stone. First used to put the leaves and crush it with the stone. When the leaves are almost done, then the other ingredients are put in and again break it until it is done.
