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, here 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.
