Mint chutney recipe / Pudina chutney with coconut

October 8, 2012 by Raks Anand 42 Comments / Jump to Recipe

mint coconut chutney

Pudina chutney / Mint chutney recipe, perfect as side dish for idli or dosa. (south Indian mint coconut chutney).

I already have a mint chutney recipe in my blog. That recipe is with onion and tomato and little bit of coconut. With the fresh bunch of mint I bought I wanted to make coconut chutney with pudina for idli and dosa. So made last week for morning breakfast. Though I gave Vj with idli, I had with paniyarams made with idli dosa batter 🙂 Even Vj loves this with kichidi, upma and adai too.

I love pudina chuntey ground with the leaves seen as flakes here and there, rather than the smooth ground one. It gives great texture too, just like if we crush grind in an ammi or grinder.

  • Blender or mixie
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • Mint leaves – 3/4 cup loosely packed
  • Coconut – 1/2 cup fresh grated

Notes

  • I add mint leaves lastly because, I dont want to grind it smoothly. I want the leaves to be seen as tiny bits as you can see in my chutney. If you want it smooth you can grind everything together as well.
  • (I added turmeric also lastly, but its because I forgot to add before ;))Turmeric is for giving a nice cool green colour.
  • I add milk if my coconut is very dry while grinding.
  • Ginger adds a nice flavour and goes well with mint. So its your choice if you want to add or feel free to skip it.

Mint chutney, Pudina chutney method:

  1. Wash the mint leaves and let it retain some water. Heat a pan with oil, season with the items given under ‘To temper’ table. Transfer to a serving bowl and in the same pan, add the washed mint leaves and sauté the leaves in medium flame until it just shrinks in volume. step1

    I am not good at chutneys or any typical Indian Food. Today I have tried Mint Chutney with idly, too delicious. Anyway, I have substituted tamarind with 3/4 of tomato. Thank to my sister who has recommended me for Rak's Kitchen.

    if you grind today, only next day it can best keep good. That too, you have to handle properly.

    I have made a small addition . I sauté one large onion with the chillies (3only ) , with ginger and tamarind ball , size of a goose berry , cumin seeds , asfoetida and do it till onion becomes translucent . Then put this after cooling in the nixie add grated coconut , pottukadalai as suggested in the original menu , one teaspoon of grated gud , and half a teaspoon of dry mango powder and grind well after adding required salt . There after add mint finally and just do it a bit course may be ten to fifteen seconds in the nixie . Take it out and season with mustard , Urad dal and curry leaves . That also tastes quite good

    Looks gud .
    But I add a small addition , urad dal fried seperatly without oil and dry red chilli, then adding oil with that onion , tomato, ginger,curry leaves,coriander leaves, tamarind,and then at last added pudina leaves, fry it , allow it to cool and then add coconut and grind it . goes very well for idly, dosa and chapatti.

    Hi Raji,

    Have been following your blog for a long time now. Inspired by the effort you put in and your style of cooking. Made this chutney to have with idli today, all of us loved it. Wanted to share what happened at my place today. We are generally not fans of pudina chutney but we gobbled extra idlies with chutney. It was that good. Thank you for all your recipes and for inspiring me to cook 🙂
