Pudina(Mint) – Coriander Chutney

Mint has dark green leaves with a very pleasant flavor. Because of its pleasant flavor it is used in Tea, right?

Mint is used in preparing many Indian dishes. I mainly use mint for mint-coriander chutney, mint pulav, ambode with mint leaves. So, during last weeks shopping I brought a bunch of mint leaves from the store. I prepared mint-coriander chutney one day, and mint pulav the next day. The recipe for mint pulav will be coming soon.
