Does the name make you curious!! it should. Premanjali is one of my sweetest god sister. She loves this chutney and have been asking for the recipe for about 6 months. Hmm!! what a procrastinator am i not responding to that??I do have an excuse that as i cook based on eye measurement and if i have to post a recipe have to put my intuitions into measuring cups and post them. so i wanted to dedicate this recipe to her for being so patient with me. My Guru gave her this name with a reason for sure. she is filled with love and care.This recipe not only brings her to my mind but also the source who is also called Prema.I was once at Prema's house back home and she served me this chutney with lots of love.So this recipe does deserve this name ahh!! I have done some modifications to the original recipe.
