PEERKANKAI CHUTNEY

Just to share with you........

I don't know anything about peerkankai chutney.I didn't even heard of that . My Brother was working in Bangalore 6 years back.He was staying with his friends. I heard from him that one of his friend makes chutney with peerkangai (may be Jothi anna or Krish anna ) . That time roughly he told abt this chutney to mom.I am not sure now my brother remembers this or not. My mom used to make this and from her I learnt this. when you are making peerkankai poriyal that time you can make another dish with same peerkankai. This chutney goes with Rice.

Also I heard that for vegetables and fruits most of the nutrients are present in the layer where the skin is touching with flesh portion . So whenever possible try to use the skin.For fancy sake don't peel and throw away.If you are doing so you are throwing away the nurtients .
