Pudhina /Mint chutney


Very good for health ,usually pudhina is used in briyani and in fried rice but the only form as side dish for idly and dosa is chutney.This pudhian chutney is different from my earlier chutney.In this recipe I have not added coconut ,this gives different taste.

Onion - 1/4 in 1 medium sized onion

Method

1.Wash the pudhina leaves,chop the onions and tomato.

2. In a tawa add the oil when it is hot add the mustard seeds when it splatters add pudhina leaves fry it till all the leaves shrinks then add onion fry it till it turns golden brown then add tomato fry until it gets soft finally add red chilly and tamarind fry for 2 more minutes .
