as i previously mentioned, there are many variants to mint chutney recipe. as matter of fact, there is a south indian variant and north indian version which are made for a certain purpose. the north indian version is more of a dip rather than chutney which is made with mint leaves and yoghurt. it is generally served with tikka recipes or even with samosa, kachori or other deep fried variants. however, in this pudina chutney recipe, i have shown south indian variant which is typically made with coconut plus mint leaves. here pudina leaves are added to enhance the coconut chutney flavour. it makes an ideal chutney for most of the south indian breakfast combo recipes.
furthermore, some easy and important tips and suggestions for flavoured pudina chutney recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have did not dry roast the pudina leaves and added it freshly. some prefer to dry roast it lightly and use it before grounding. it may lessen the raw smell but you may have to compromise on the flavour. secondly, use freshly grated coconut for a better consistency and texture. optionally you can dry roast it before grounding it. lastly, you can control the colour of chatni by adding either green chillies or red chillies. i personally prefer to have green chilli, it is purely open-ended.
