For me, the first time I learnt about chutney as inclusive of chopped veggies was when Pedatha taught us the dosakkai pachchadi. I love bittergourd dishes and am excited about trying this one out. It looks so tasty and unique. Dear Shilpa, Hope you had fun when your parents visited and hope you learnt many more of these exotic dishes for us?
