Hi Supermoms,
"Chutneys are like accessories, they are a must, but don't over do it" says Asha Shivkumar, the author of the cookbook " Masala and Meatballs". I met Asha through her delicious food in instagram and our common passion " Food" connected us instantly. I vividly remember Asha messaging me around three years ago, if I spoke Tamizh at home as I had posted about 'Palgova' that day in my instagram😀.
When she shared that she was writing a cookbook , I was more than thrilled. My happiness knew no bounds when I received a copy of the book as a loving gesture from Asha. The cookbook is truly one of a kind with delicious Indian recipes with an American twist . It has spectacular photography of food that tempts you to try them immediately.
As a chutney lover, the recipe that I tried first was this Green chutney using apples. The taste was so good and it was a perfect compliment to the Potato and Chickpea Burgers that I also made from the book.
Such a yummy and tasty chutney recipe that can be made in minutes. You can spread them on sandwiches , rolls , add them in your chaat or serve them as an accompaniment to your tea time snacks.
