TAIKILE CHUTNEY FROM APS KITCHEN PLUS AN AWARD.

I was not able to sit in a place when I had a glance at taikile chutney in ''Aparna's blog from aps kitchen''. It remind me the day when I went to her place with my daughter. I must surly appreciate her mom making tikile vada (tikile ambado) , mangalore buns, halwa and few more goodies. I enjoyed to my fullest having those and remaining I packed to my home :) I was not aware of what tikile is. She gave me its chutney for taste which also I loved it and my smera ohhhh boy, she just adore having it as it is and I guess she had almost finished it off :)

I have come acrossed many chutney but the one that really popped my eyes was this chutney. This was entirly new to me. Thus I decided to make them for sure because this is somewhat unique chutney I haven't prepared nor seen. When my loving, talented sweet pal aparna posted this recipe along with the picture of tikilo leaves (cassia tora), I immediatly showed the pic to my fatherinlaw and the very next day he bought it for me. Thats so nice of him na? I prepared this chutney that day itself for dinner with onion dosa. It was just outstanding. The changes I made here is I added grated ginger and lime juice for tangy flavour as the additional of tamarind was less. But this did not compromise the flavour. We enjoyed it so much.
