Mint / Pudina Chutney !

I love all the chutneys & pickles for that matter whatever my mom cooks…. there must be some chutney or pickle at home always…and this time it is more special when I made this Pudina / Mint chutney and the reason is… we got The Home grown fresh Mint from ♥ly couple Ragini & Vijay Garu !! A big Thanq to them !

&….. the home grown fresh mint enhanced the taste much more !!!

Pudina Chutney

Ingredients :

Mint / Pudina Leaves - 2 to 3 cups
Dry red chili - 5 to 6 ( depends on the spicy you prefer)
Tamarind - 1 tea spoon
Garlic cloves - 2 to 3
Cumin seeds - 1 tea spoon
Coconut shred - 1 to 2 table spoons
oil - 1/4 tea spoon
Salt - As per the taste
Water - 2 to 3 table spoons

Preparation :

- Separate the Mint / pudina leaves from the strands & wash them in the cold water and lay them on dry paper towel to drain out the excess water.

Mint chutney
- We can use freshly grated coconut shred or dry coconut shred as per the availability.

Pudina Chutney
- Dry roast the dry red chili, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, and coconut shred. Once done, take them in to a separate plate and keep them aside.

Mint Chutney
- Now add the mint leaves to the pan and add the oil and let it fry under lowest heat, add the tamarind as well & cover the pan with the lid ( make sure mint leaves don't burn).

Pudina Chutney
- Don't have to fry for longer..just until the leaves turn little brownish..it just takes max 2 minutes under low heat !

Mint Chutney
- Now all these are ready to go in to the blender or mixer grinder along with salt, add water little by little and grind the chutney.

- Don't grind it in to too fine paste..just leave it little coarser.

and that is it ….Pudina / Mint Chtney is ready & can be served with dal rice & ghee, akki roti as well !
