Mint Relish / Pudina Chutney

A quick, easy herb chutney which can be a good dip or accompaniment for any Indian fried appetizer. Use of lush green herbs makes this relish an attractive one too. The mint is so refreshing when you include it in your diet & it is also good for your digestive system. Though this is a Mint Chutney, coriander leaves are also used because, mint alone when made a paste, it loses its colour very soon. Usually coconut is used in Pudina chutney but this recipe has no coconut in it. Sounds all the more easy. isn't it?
