Seasonings done in gingely oil


Pulsed amlas added


Sauteed well for 10 minutes, till the mixture looks somewhat cooked. Since Nellikkai is supposed to give us lot of health benefits when eaten raw, it need not get fully cooked.


Switch off, then add chilli powder and dry roasted methi powder.


Mix well


An ideal side for chapathies and dosas. Is very good to apply on bread sandwiches too.
