AMBAT CHUKKA CHUTNEY / CHUKKA KEERAI CHUTNEY / GREEN SORREL CHUTNEY / KHATTA BHAJI CHUTNEY

Green Sorrel or Ambat Chukka is a perennial herb that is used all around the world and is cultivated for a wide variety of uses. It is used in Smoothie as one of the major green ingredients. 

Chukka leaves are medium to large in size and broad, thin, oblong, and arrow-shaped, averaging 6-15 centimeters in length. Chukka leaves look similar to spinach with a smooth texture and dark green surface, but they have thicker and juicer stems. Chukka leaves have a tart, green, and grassy flavor with notes of citrus. Chukka is sharp and slightly astringent due to the high levels of oxalic acid present in the plant, and the younger leaves are less acidic.

Excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin B9. Also rich in iron, magnesium and calcium.

Chukka leaves can be consumed both raw and in cooked applications such as steaming, sautéing, frying, and boiling. They can be steamed or shredded and used in salads or boiled in soups, stews, and curries. 

Chukka leaves will keep for a couple of days when stored loosely wrapped in a paper towel, in a plastic bag, and in the refrigerator.
