Mint Chutney | Pudina Chutney Recipe (without coconut)

Mint Chutney or Pudina Chutney is my most favorite chutney recipe, it's flavorful, aromatic, refreshing and a total bliss every mouthful according to me. Made with simple and minimal ingredients pudina chatni makes good side dish with idli, dosa, upma, pongal, adai, paniyaram or even with paratha, any variety rice (I like to eat with plain rice too) and also we can also use this base for any sandwich or serve with any starter.

So this simple mint chutney is multi-purpose and goes with almost every thing and anything like I listed above. I started making this pudina chutney from a very long time now and this is one of very few dish that I used to make even before I started cooking properly. So it's just a kids play, even your teenager kid can make this chutney with out any fuss. Pudina chutney can also be made in various way with additional of other ingredients but this is my base chutney which I love to core and it really delicious for other variations I will post later all that.



There is no step-wise pictures for this chutney as I was making this in hurry to serve guests (ie DH cousin brother and new sister-in-law in family)  a big buffet of breakfast with idli, dosa, onion-tomato chutney, coconut chutney, sambar and tea and for me is really big to do all this early morning before they start touring Singapore, not my cup of tea indeed until I push my self to be a good host :) But the chutney is quite straight-forward to make though I will try to add step-wise pictures some other time for sure.
