Green Chutney - Nutritious and Easy

How about having a single side dish which goes excellently well with Chappathis, Idlis, Dosas, breads and even rice ? How about not having to make it each time you want to have it ? Here is the recipe for an easy Nutritious green chutney.

Finding "healthy, Easy to make and tasty" food is rare. Here is the recipe of one of the most useful chutneys I have ever had.


Ingredients :

2 Cups Mint leaves
1 Cup cut Coriander leaves
2 Green Chillies ( You can increase if you want)
3/4 cup Onion ( Preferably small green ones, I use whatever is there at home)
Some Lemon Juice for tanginess
Salt to Taste

Method :

Grind them all raw into fine paste. THAT'S IT !


Uses :

1. You can store this chutney in fridge for a little more than a week and use it as and when you need it. You can have this chutney with little curd/yoghurt/Sour cream. Together they serve as an excellent accompaniment to Dosas, Idlis and Chappathis.

2. With Sour cream or Yoghurt when you blend this chutney, you can spread it on bread.

3. The chutney can be had with all North Indian chats like samosas, Kachodi, Pakodas, Bhel Puri etc.

4. With Gujju snacks like Dhoklas, it's an ideal side dish.

5. Mix some buttermilk/ curds to make a delicious Raitha which goes well with pulavs, Sambhar rice etc.

6. Blend this chutney with Yoghurt and instantly it acts like a dip for tortilla chips or potato chips...
