✨ You get a next-level yummy green chutney that is smooth, bold, colored and packed with a flavorful punch
let’s hear a south indian folktale about this chutney
The Wise Woman’s Chutney
Long ago, in a small Tamil village, there lived a poor but clever woman named Muthulakshmi
She had nothing but a small plot of land, a grinding stone and a wild coriander bush that grew in her small plot of land
Every day, she would grind those herbs and leaves into chutneys and trade them for rice, tamarind or even some gossip
One day, the local zamindar (landlord) declared:
“I’m tired of boring food! I want something so flavorful that it makes me happy and sing!”
Naturally, all the village starts to prepare grand feasts—curries, sweets, fried snacks, and biryanis
But none of them impressed him. He ate with a frown, burped without joy and felt sad and threatened to fire his entire kitchen
That’s when Muthulakshmi quietly walked in with just one magic thing in her hand: her signature …a bowl of bright green chutney
The zamindar laughed, “What’s this? Leaves mashed on a stone?”
But she insisted, “Just taste it.”
The moment he took a bite—zing!—his eyes widened, his tongue danced, and he broke into an old folk song about monsoons and mango trees
Everyone gasped
He asked, “What’s in this magic paste?!”
She replied:
“Just what grows freely—coriander, a bit of capsicum, some garlic, cumin, and my secret: a squeeze of lemon and a lot of attitude.”
Impressed, the zamindar offered her gold coins as a token of appreciation
But Muthulakshmi said,
“Keep your coins. Just let the women in the village grow their own herbs and sell their chutneys at the market.”
From that day, every home had a grinding stone and a chutney recipe that made even simple rice taste like a feast
🧄 Moral of the Story:
Never underestimate a side dish!
In the right hands, even a simple chutney can change your fortune and add the flavors of your life
