I wasnt sure what I would bring to the potluck this week till 10 am today:). Its just been one of those crazy weekends with allergy attacks and checking off last minute details on the Auction fundraiser. I still have to send out mails to everyone who got out-bid!
Only 30 or so hours left! If you havent bid on the amazing items yet, the time is now! You might get some of the items at the minimum bid, since you might not get out-bid by tomorrow.
The coolest part is that hubbs will match the total raised, so the donation amount will be doubled.

Currently VSPCA is dealing with a stray dog killing crisis. Every time there is a rabies scare, even before the cases can be confirmed that they were rabies or not, people start killing off the stray and community dog population(usually a in a very brutal way). VSPCA has already vaccinated 24000 dogs working day and night and will need all help possible to continue to do so.
The dogs who also get neutered and spayed can be adopted out, but that is not possible for the cows, calfs , buffaloes. They most likely will end up back in the dairy or leather industry and hence need a permanent sanctuary. The VSPCA cow sanctuary is quite self sustainable in terms of using cow dung for fertilizer as well as fuel(Bio-Gas) and doesnt use any dairy for sustenance.
Back to todays goodies and Potluck! Courtney over at The Fig Tree, came up with the fun idea of getting a bunch of us together for a Virtual Veggie Potluck. So we all are bringing something to the table today. I had a crazy weekend, and if this was a real potluck, I would bring something that I could put together really quickly, something with interesting set of flavors, usually a savory main dish, appetizer or side! I was thinking of a soup on Saturday, then it got too hot on Sunday. I thought of a cool Salad, and saw a bunch of Salad plans already ;), so here is a last minute Chutney and Wrap!
Mint Thyme Tomato Chutney: Made by hubbs yesterday! the Mint and Thyme is fresh from our balcony garden.
In a blender, Add 1 medium juicy tomato- chopped, 2 cups mint leaves, 1/2 cup thyme, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 1/4 green chili or red chili flakes, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Blend, taste and adjust salt and spices and serve! Add a few Tablespoons water if needed for blending.
Variations: Add this chutney to cooked chickpeas for a minty thyme Hummus for added protein in the wrap.

May 21, 2012 at 10:44 pmOh my gosh this sounds incredible! Every part of this sounds so good… wish this were a real potluck, haha!
Caitlin says
May 21, 2012 at 11:36 pmi think this is something i could even make and have it taste good! this looks fantastic, richa, and so flavorful! i feel the same way about bringing something to the potluck. it’s gotta be quick and easy to prepare. also, what are those crunchy looking things with the chutney? they look like onion rings, but even better 😉
Richa says
May 21, 2012 at 11:54 pmThose are super crunchy deep fried snacks which happen to be glutenfree(chakali or murukku):). They have lentil, rice flour and sesame seeds made into a salty soft dough, pressed into a spiral through a star cookie press thing and deep fried. you can get them from an indian store. I think i can bake them.:) will probably try to make some and post:)
Richa says

May 22, 2012 at 12:54 amLike Caitlin my eyes went straight to those deep fried rings of deliciousness! I LOVE the chutney you made, I would totally double dip (in my own dipping dish of course) my virtual wrap in that chutney – nice addition to the potluck Richa!
I am so excited to see where I come out in the fundraiser, I am still high bidder on a few things- great job putting the fundraiser together, I know you worked really hard and its paying off!!
Richa says

Genevieve says
May 22, 2012 at 2:47 amI know how you feel about changing your mind back and forth trying to come up with a dish to serve to a group of people, so I’m impressed that you were able to come up with this recipe last minute! I love how full of veggies it is, and the flavours sound so bold and tasty! I would definitely add lots of that chutney and double dip like Heather suggested!
Richa says
May 22, 2012 at 5:06 amIt is quite a mix of flavors! the mint and garlic overpower most of the others:) and the cauli mix is like a paratha filling.
