Pulicha Keerai Chutney / Gongura or Sorrel Leaves Chutney

This is a Kongunadu style rather village style Sorrel leaves Chutney, my grand mother used to make this in bulk and pack it to us during the season. We keep it refrigirated for atleast a week and enjoy them with white rices. Sorrel Leaves are high in Iron and has lot of nutrients. They taste tangy, so the recipe should somewhat balance the taste so that it can be consumed with no troubles.
Variations can be made with adding tomatoes. Sorrel leaves chutney tastes sour. To reduce the sour taste my mom suggested to add peanuts. It would be ground in stone grinder in villages without adding water. It lasts up to a week in this way without refrigerating.
If you could avoid water it would taste better. In mixi it’s difficult to grind it very thick so i added little water.
