Ayyayyo, my dear, this Palli Karam is a true village favorite! Made with roasted peanuts, dry red chillies, garlic, and a hint of tamarind — ground together to make a spicy, nutty chutney powder that wakes up every meal.
In the old days, we made it fresh in the rolu (mortar and pestle), its aroma filling the whole kitchen. A spoon of this with hot rice and ghee was pure heaven! Every bite carries the bold taste of our land, the strength of tradition, and the loving touch of Chittamma’s kitchen.
