Pudina Chutney

Pudina or Mint is a herb in lovely green in color. This is a South Indian dish. Extremely favorable with katta meeta taste. As it is a herb, it is good for health. I prepare it frequently. All my family members like this.

Note

Do not fry pudina as it is aroma remains when it is used fresh.Don'tt add too many ingredients like garlic coconut etc. The flavor of the pudina will be lost.
