A simple and a easy lip smacking dish that comes very handy. This is multi dimensional and versatile in use. This can be used as a chutney for Idlis/Dosas/Chappathis, it can be used as a pickle for curd rice and also can be mixed with plain white rice. This dish certainly jogs good old memories. As my mom had to leave home very early in the morning for work, she always resorted to these kind of prepare-ahead-and-store dishes. Since this was just so heavenly good there were no complaints from my side to have this on a regular basis. My Mom used to prepare a large batch (almost for two weeks) of this and store it in the fridge. But that would hardly last a week!! Each and every time I open the fridge, I used to have a spoonful. 🙂 Sometime I just open it to have this! How many scoldings have I got! Poor mom. She thinks that it would help her for some busy days andI finish it off in no time. My bad! Now I am able to understand her feeling. When my hubby does the same thing, I get pissed off!
Prepare it ahead and store it in the refrigerator. It stays good for days. This is for the last week of BM 26 under the theme "Pick one ingredient". My ingredient is garlic. Check out the other blogging marathon runners here.

These would pair so well with curd rice! After seeing your poondu kuzhambu here yesterday, I tried my version for lunch today 🙂
It will be good if you add the 'Prev post' and 'Next post' links in your space. Right now, I have to go to the home page and then come from there. Also archives will be nice to have so that its easy for the reader to go through the posts. Just a suggestion!
