Foodie Monday Blog Hop

Taking this Andhra style nimmakaya velluli karam chutney to  FoodieMondayBloghop fb group's #299LockdownRecipes theme. By this time you are all aware that I am part of this lovely group where we bloggers share recipe for theme suggested by a person in alphabetical order every week. This week theme was suggested by "Narmada" one of my blogger friends who blogs at "Namscorner".  She told to share any easy recipe with easily available ingredients. As it is lockdown we are not getting different varieties of vegetables and groceries. As Chennai is in full lockdown from 24/May I d't have only onions, tomatoes, potatoes, lemon at home. So i thought to prepare this spicy and tasty chutney for theme.  I bookmarked her cakesicles, whole wheat hide & seek biscuits to try soon.
