Mint Chutney is a yummy and healthy dish, that goes well with idli, dosa, roti, and curd rice. There are different variations in making the mint chutney, in this recipe I made it with mint, onion, tomato, and chilis.

We can make mint chutney along with coconut, red/green chilli. Another variety is to be made with mint and urad dal. All those verities have a uniqueness in taste.

Apart from idli/dosa, it goes well with paniyaram, vada, and bajji. Even you can mix it with white rice and serve it hot with papads or fryums. 

Notes

• You can replace the shallots with onion.
• Adjust the chilis according to your taste.
• You can replace red chilis with green chilis.
• Use fresh mint leaves for the best results.
• You can prepare the coriander chutney in this same method. Just replace the mint leaves with coriander leaves.
