We do pudhina chutney in 2 different ways

1. Grind coconut,pudhina, green chilli and salt with enough water and temper with mustard,split urad dhal, asafoetida and curry leaves...Add very few mint leaves, so that color remains very light (similar to pista ice-cream..the more you add the taste and color differs)..Just tempering no cooking @ all :cheers

2. Heat oil ...Saute chopped onions(1 big)..Next saute chopped tomatoes(2 medium)...next add a handfull of mint leaves and a small piece of tamaring and saute till the mint leaves shrink well..Add salt and grind...This can be tempered with mustard and urad dhal or avoid tempering

Power cuts and excellent chutneys…..


What if you have the ingredients all ready for making chutney and half way through grinding there is power cut?…and the chutney cannot be made in the usual way?
Here is a splendid way to make excellent chutneys when there is a power cut halfway through…

Try grinding these chutneys the way I say and also the way it is usually done ..ground very fine…you will see the difference in taste..!

This is how I make my pudina chutney for idli.

Fry pudina in 1/2 tsp oil till raw smell goes and grind it with green chillies, little ginger, tamarind, 1 or 2 tbsp coconut and 1 or 2 tsp of pottukadalai (chickpea). Season it with mustard and hing. Sometimes I do add raw onion and have it with adai. It tastes good.
