Cauliflower Leaves Chutney Recipe -- Chat Phat Chutney recipe -- How to make Cauliflower Leaves Chutney Recipe

Whenever I purchase cauliflower, I wish to have tender leaves of it. I add some tomatoes and some greens and make a perfect spicy, tangy chutney with cauliflower leaves. A perfect combo for hot piping rice. Of course those leaves may not have any specific taste to them, but those spices we add to it make a good tasty chutney. This is right season to get tender and thin leaves. They are fiber rich.
Here in our markets we get them along with their leaves, some times they will be tender and some times a little ripen and brittle. To make chutney we need tender ones only.
