I had bookmarked this Kalavai chutney from Mullai’s blog long back. Being a chutney lover, I was so tempted to try this recipe by seeing the rave reviews in her Instagram page.
Actually I was thinking Kalavai chutney and Kadamba chutney are one and the same. I have already shared a kadamba chutney recipe in my blog. But there are slight differences in the ingredients and method of both the chutney.
After tasting this chutney, I reminded about a kara chutney recipe in a hotel in Thiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu. My MIL and myself loved that chutney a lot. We started to smell and lick the chutney to know the ingredients that went inside. But we couldn't spot on. Now I am so happy that I could recreate the same taste after so many years. Many thanks to Mullai for this wonderful chutney recipe. I have shared more than 70 chutney recipes in my blog. I would say this is one of the best chutney recipes. You must give a try !
