Taikile Chutney

A good Memory to go with this Chutney…. During those kiddo days I  remember my mamama(mom’s mom) making awesome chutneys of variety of leaves and they used to to taste Heavenly and we(aunt and me) used to relish it so much tht now We(pachi n me) miss it like crazy. She used to grind it on the grinding stone and not the mixer grinder(it wasn there then :P) and tht smoothness wud never come if ground in mixer. But now as mamama is old nd doesn use the stone I don’t get to eat such chutneys… but without forgetting Amma makes it for me now grinding on the stone(on spl request J ) and I relish it.

It so happened that when I was in Mangalore Suma had come down to my place with her sweet lil daughter Smera and I remember her relishing this chutney and telling Amma tht its very tasty J J J. She literally enjoyed it and my mom was very happy.

Not to forget Suma had got me some sweet goodies…. Which was Yummm and she even got mango pickle which was lip smacking J J J.
I cud not get a click when i was in mangalore... and when I came bac here i was lucky enuf to find it in the marketJJJ Soon I made this chutney and m posting it now 

Now Facebook has various food site in vch Konkani Amchi Food is one. There we find Yummy dishes and get various information about food and ancient cooking. 

I heard the Taikilo is also known as Negro Coffee…  and the information was Given by Pravin D Kamath maam  from KAF and was found in Ashwini’s Blog.

The first picture is mine it is after removing the stems of the leaves. 

And the second picture(the bunch in hand is Taikilo) is contributed by Pravin maam. Thank U so Maam.
