Kiwi Chammanthi

After my Inji Puli recipe,here I am with another condiment.Two days back I was planning to prepare the usual chammanti  when suddenly my eyes got stuck on a Kiwi lying inside my fruit basket.Thought why not try adding this to the chammanthi, also the fruit was not all that sweet.

I am part of the 'Muslim Food Bloggers' group on Facebook.A group with so many lovely ladies with the same Passion for cooking.To make the group more interesting ,a challenge has been put every month.The challenge started from last month but unfortunately I could not make it up last time,but thought somehow I should make it this time.If you all have read my last post you would know I am going through a low phase now a days.But somehow I didn't want to miss this again,so to be frank I didn't put much effort on this challenge.
