Mint Chutney / Pudina Chutney
I always love Pudina / Mint due to its unique flavour and refreshing taste and I never fail to keep at least one Pudina / Mint bunch in the refrigerator. Also, the Mint Leaves have abundant health benefits. For our breakfast, I decided to make this fresh Pudina Chutney yesterday. It was very tasty and tempted us to eat more idlies.
Ingredients
Mint / Pudina Leaves - 1 Big Bunch
Coriander Leaves / Stem - 2 stems
Green Chillies - 3 Big
Ginger - 1 small square
Fresh Coconut Flakes - 1 Cup
Pottu Kadalai / Putnalu Pappu / Roasted Gram - 1 Handful
Hing / Asafoetida - 1 Dash
Mustard Seeds - 2 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Channa Dal / Kadalai Paruppu - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 2 or 3
Red Chili - 1
Salt - To Taste
Oil - 2 to 3 tsp
Method
- Wash the Mint Leaves, Coriander Stem and grind them along with Coriander Stem, Pottu kadalai, Coconut Flakes, green chillies, ginger and salt.
- Then, do the tempering using Mustard seeds, Hing, Urad Dal and Channa Dal, dry red chilli and curry leaves and pour them over the Chutney.
- If you want this to be little watery, you can add some water. And you can enjoy this healthy chutney in any consistency you like for any South Indian tiffin varieties like Idly, Dosa, Pongal, etc.,
