    I tried this mint chutney without onion.Instead of tamarind I used some raw mango. As I like coriander leaves I added that also All other ingredients were the same as given in your recipe It was a little bitter. Even adding a teaspoon of sugar did not improve the taste. Where did I go wrong? Colonel Rajagopalan.

      There is nothing to taste bitter in this chutney. Did you taste the mint leaves you used? You did not use onions also. If the onions are over fried they might give a bitter taste. Maybe you can try it again with fresh mint leaves.

      Waiting mint leaves for a long time will give bitter taste
