MINT LEAVES CHUTNEY/PUDHINA CHUTNEY

I love the fresh flavour of mint/pudhina leaves.My hubby does not like mint leaves.He always says that some medicnal smell comes from mint leaves.If I prepare mint leaves chutney I have to eat all by myself.

But most of the times when I go for shopping I will find only dried mint leaves. Recently when I got a bunch of fresh mint I decided to make pudhina rice but my hubby was running back on hearing this. so I skipped that idea and made mint chutney.Already I have posted a version of mint chutney with coconut. This is another version.
