Curry Leaves Chutney| Curry Leaves Coconut Dip | Karuvepillai Thengai Thogayal

Simple yet flavorful chutney/ thogayal that goes well with idli, dosa, othappam or even can mix with hot steamed rice.Usually, when I get a bunch of curry leaf every time I buy vegetables half of it goes to trash as I just use it for tempering.Last time when I got some I decided to make some thogayal/dip to mix with rice.This summer I have decided to make more thogayal for rice than kuzhambu.So stay tuned to some dip which I make this season.
