Bilimbi Gojju

I spotted "Irumban Puli" in the frozen vegetable section of my local Indian stores. Though these specific words meant nothing to me, the picture on the packet screamed "Bilimbi"! So I had to buy it. :-)

The first simple recipe that I tried, was by making chutney using coconut and garlic. It was more or less similar to the Ambule Gojju.

Method
1. Steam bilimbi in a spoonful of water. Let it cool down.
2. Grind coarsely with all the remaining ingredients.
3. Drizzle coconut oil as a garnish.

2. Serve this "chutney" as a side dish with your meal or an accompaniment with dosa/idli.
