Pudina Chutney or Mint Chutney is something that i make when i get bored of the regular coconut chutney or tomato chutney. I love the hint of green in the pudina chutney, not to forget the flavor burst it brings. Being a south Indian, I m almost obliged to be in love with coconut.
This pudina chutney uses freshly grated coconut, Channa dal and jaggery along with mint leaves to bring about a pastel green in your chutney.
This version of pudina chutney doesn’t keep long in the fridge and i must mention that it tastes best when eaten fresh. Use up any leftovers of this pudina chutney within the next day
