Mint chutney is one of my favourite side dish for Idly and dosa. It is a very flavorful and delicious chutney.It goes well with Pongal, Moong dal rice, moong dal khichdi, samosa etc. Without the seasoning, it can be used as a spread for sandwich. It can be prepared in different ways.Today let us learn how to prepare Mint Chutney by following this easy Mint chutney recipe.
Ingredients needed
Mint leaves - 1 cup tightly packed
Pearl onions - 7-8
Green chilli -2
Grated Coconut -1/4 cup
Tamarind - a small piece
Salt as required
For the seasoning
Oil -1 tsp
Mustard -3/4 tsp
Urad dal -3/4 tsp
Preparation
Remove stalks and take the mint leaves alone. Wash the mint leaves and keep it aside. Drain the water well.
Method
Heat 2-3 tsp of oil , add pearl onions and saute till it turns pink.
Then add green chilli and saute for a few more seconds .
Now switch off the flame and add the mint leaves. Saute in the heat of the pan itself. Add grated coconut and mix well.
Grind everything with needed salt, tamarind and very less water.

i have been trying most of your dishes. Everything turned out to be really good and tasty. Can you prepare mint chutney without coconut. will it be good?
ReplyDeleteIf you add some ginger when you grind, it will be more healthy and delicious....
ReplyDeleteHi Padhu,
ReplyDeleteVery good recipes indeed. can you post the recipe for Ginger and Til Chutney the tamilian way please.
Thank you
Hi Padhu,
ReplyDeleteI am in beginner phase in cooking. I find your site very useful. Your recipes are simple and easy to make. Your step by step directions are helpful for me to try some new recipes. Thanks a lot for doing this. :)
I've started cooking recently and your site is very helpful. Thanks a lot 😊
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
DeleteWaiting mint leaves for a long time will give bitter taste
