Mint Chutney/Pudina Chutney No Coconut Version


I like to try different chutney varieties to accompany idly and dosa.Most of our week day dinner would be either idly or dosa.Also I make two varieties of chutney, as myself and hubby prefers a bit spicy chutney and for kids milder one.
As I had lot of homegrown mint leaves I tried this version of chutney to accompany dosa for our dinner.This chutney doesn't need coconut and it stays for 3-4 days in refrigerator.This chutney recipe, I noted down from a friend of mine who makes excellent chutney with veggies and greens.Off to the recipe......
