Gongura Chutney

This is the first time, I am trying a recipe with gongura leaves. Never seen gongura leaves even before. Usually I used to get store made gongura pickles. While I was to shopping last week, I found a big bunch of gongura leaves. Even if I had no idea of making any recipes of it, I grabbed a bunch, as I had a friend from Hydrebad here. This recipe is from Suma, who shared this with me and great thanks Suma, for sharing this recipe. It came out very well and love the homemade, tangy and spicy chutney.

Ingredients:

Gongura leaves - 1 bunch
Red chilli - 8 to 10
Peanut - 3 tbsp (roasted)
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
