Method : Wash and dry the leaves. Then try to remove the middle stem of the leaves if it a hard one . Put in the mixi the leaves a hand ful and on a whiper mode give a grind. You should not make a paste. It should just be a crushed leaves. The quantity given above is for a glass of Crushed leaves. Now transfer it to a bowl. In the same blender add red chilli pd, Turmeric pd, Omum,Hing, Salt and give a grind. Now add the leaves crushed and give a grind again. Now transfer this mixture to a bowl. Squeeze 5 lemons and add it to the mixture and mix well. It will be sticky now but later it will become dry. Keep it in an airtight container.

Note : Leaves plucked after the monsoon are very tender and tasty . Actually made with Narthangai leaves. But in my area we donot get it so made with Lemon leaves. The taste is same...
