Mint chutney also called pudina chutney or hari chutney is one of the most flavorful and another must have dip / chutney for Indian snacks and also served as accompaniment for kebab’s and tikka’s in Indian restaurants. This is prepared using fresh mint leaves and coriander leaves. This is also my personal favorite as its spicy and delicious and can be prepared in less than 10 minutes.

You can also serve this dip / chutney with roasted garlic cauliflower, tandoori aloo, bread pakora, onion pakora, sweet potato fritters or with any vegetarian or non-vegetarian kebabs or tikkas. Don’t miss to try out these delicious combinations.

This chutney can be refrigerated for about week. I have already posted the recipe for dates chutney and I am going to post the recipe for puris and my favorite chats soon, so that you can prepare it form scratch.

Apart from being aromatic and tasty, mint leaves is also got lot of health benefits. So I prepare it more frequently in my kitchen.
