Kavi, superb chutney…will try once i get this tomatillo. Presentation was awesome dear…

Thank u dear Cap.
Kavi, i like your mexican style chutney. I have question though… these tomatillos are very tangy by nature, do we still need tamarind for this chutney??
Mullai, I like tangy & we r adding 5 chillies, so it will compensate….if u don't like tangy taste just omit…but without tamarind i felt something is missing (ya pulippu enakku kammiya theriyuthu).
Seri kavi, i will try with puli and let u know. I usually ignore these as my local produce market is run by Mexicans and they always have these in big boxes. But from now onwards will surely stock up. Thanks.
Try pannittu solluga Mullai.
Kavi,
Crispy dosai with tomatillo chutney is making me hungry.
