Pudina chutney | Mint Chutney – No onion no garlic added pudina chutney recipe, a perfect side dish for idli|dosa. Mint chutney recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
We all love adding mint | and coriander leaves to the chutney. We South Indians make different varieties of chutney for idli |dosa. I have posted another version of the mint coriander chutney recipe in Jeyashris kitchen. This is one very simple version without the addition of onion and garlic.
Though making Idli | dosa is an easy one for breakfast or dinner, making a side dish for idli/dosa is always a task for me, and most of the time I end up making Onion tomato chutney and coconut chutney( recipe coming soon) and sometimes will make Tiffin Sambar too. My daughter loves to try different varieties of chutney for idli | dosa and so I tried pudina chutney last week as I had a big bunch of mint leaves after my visit to the Indian market here. We had this pudina chutney with dosa and the recipe is quite simple and easy to make too.

Notes
1. You can add coriander leaves instead of mint leaves. 2. Always ensure that the channa dal is roasted very well, as after adding the rest of the ingredients it won’t get roasted. 3. Do not overcook or saute the mint leaves. It may give a bitter taste. 4. Mint chutney | pudina chutney stays good in the refrigerator for a day.
