Ooty bajji chilli (light green in colour and big) Gravy - Green Chilli gravy - Side dish for rice, dosa, bread, roti, Paratha

This recipe is from my mom. Even though I love it I don't really make it as it requires tons of oil. And it is very addictive. If it is there I add it to anything I have from my breakfast to dinner. But whenever I visit my mum or she visits me she will do this without fail. It is really tasty and addictive. Here you go with her recipe
