Mint chutney is great to serve with rice and
ghee (clarified butter) or
with cutlets and

sandwiches with mint
chutney as a base.
Servings: 6
Cooking Time: 10
minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups mint (pudina) leaves
- Salt to taste
- 4 tsp lime juice or 2 tsp tamarind pulp
For Masala
- 3 tsp vegetable oil
- 3 tsp urad dal (black gram)
- 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 7-8 red chillies
- 1/2 tsp asafoetida (hing)
- Turmeric, a pinch
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a skillet, and add asafoetida, urad
dal, and mustard seeds. When the dal is brown and the mustard seeds
start to splutter, add the red chillies and fry for a few seconds until
chillies are brown. Put this masala mix into the blender and let it
cool.
- Saute the mint leaves in the same skillet with a
little bit of oil, until they are brown. Cool these in a bowl.
- Grind the masala with a little bit of water into a
coarse paste.
- Add the mint leaves, salt, and lime juice and grind
into a coarse paste.
- Serve the mint chutney with plain white rice and ghee
(clarified
butter) or use it for making a spicy vegetarian sandwich.
The shelf life of this mint chutney is a week, when refrigerated. If
you
want to use mint chutney as a base for your sandwich, add a little
water to it to make it spreadable.
