Mint & Cilantro Chutney for Dosa & Idlis.

Shoba

Mint chtuneys make an interesting combination with breakfast preparations like Venn Pongal,Oats  Idlis, Dosas etc. Mint adds a refreshing zing to any drink especially a summer drink. When infused with mint leaves that are crushed, it makes it extremely fresh and adds zing to the drink!  In its natural form, mint aids in indigestion and also aids in relieving respiratory blocks. This recipe is inspired by Rak`s version and is definitely a keeper!

  1. Mint is my favourite herb and combined with even so more flavousome coriander it should be a delicious chutney. I would not even want any dosa or idli…appdiyae chaapduvaen 🙂

  10. Dear Sujatha,

    There is no need to roast the coconut. You need to add the fresh coconut itself!
