This recipe is adapted from Jugalbandi..There needs no introduction to the duo at Jugalbandi..They are amateurs in quiet a lot of fields be it cooking,photography, blogging, writing,gardening..I had a lot of recipes bookmarked from their site..I wanted to make something for Tried and Tasted featuring Jugalbandi this month..I came across this Chikha Pesto,Bihari Style..It is very much the same Keerai Masiyal without the seasoning..I followed the recipe exactly except that I skipped the mustard greens since I did not have them..It turned out to be a perfect,healthy lunch..
Here goes the recipe..
