dev: You have a great business opportunity! Dry all leaves, powder them and pack them in bottles. Then advertise:

" Home made curry leaf powder from home grown curry leaves. No additives and no preservatives. On sale now. You get two bottles for the price of one. Or you may barter your surplus vegetables and fruits in exchange for curry leaf powder. Hurry up. Offer valid while supply lasts. "

I would have volunteered to be your marketing manager. But, I am too far away!

(The fact is that I was far removed from marketing when I worked! )

Thanks Rajraj uncle for your post and idea for Dev.
Apadiyeh, ennakum oru cut in the business.
Thanks Kugan

kugan,

i am better now. so many curry leaves receipe. my mom makes curry leaves chutney, which is very tasty. specially for travelling this is too good.

curry leaves - 1 hand full (tender leaves)
dry red chilly - 5 big
garlic cloves - 4 medium size
tamarind - one small nellikai size
salt - reqd
tadka - gingelly oil, rai and urad dhal, curry leaves

in a kadai add 1/2 tsp oil, in slow fire, fry red chilly make it sure, it should not turn black. then grind altogether like a fine paste except garlic, once it is ground finely add garlic, again grind to a smooth paste. now give tadka with gingelly oil (may be 2 tblsp), rai, urad dhal and curry leaves. transfer tadka to chutney.

make hot idlis, apply this chutney on top of it, apply some oil and keep it. after 2 or 3 hours have it. idli soaked with curry leaves chutney will be tasty.

Dear Selviem, glad to know that you are feeling better now.
Thanks Selviem for your mom's version of chutney.
I am sure it is a very healthy version, since coconut is missing there.
Also as you said it will be good for travelling.
Thanks again Selviem, take care of your self. Kugan
