Method for Mint Chutney

To make Pudina Chutney (Mint Chutney), first take one fresh bunch of mint leaves. You will know the leaves are fresh when they are bright green in color and not yellow. Fresh mint leaves have a bright, refreshing flavor that is essential to a good chutney.
Pick the mint leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
Wash the mint leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt and dust that might be on them.This is a very important step as the leaves might have a lot of dirt on them.
Roughly chop the mint leaves to make it easier for blending. We will need around 2 cups of chopped mint leaves. Since this is a Pudina Chutney (Mint Chutney), we are going to use more mint and less coriander. Mint has many health benefits that makes it beneficial for health.

Finally add salt to taste.

Add 1/4 cup water so that it is easily blended.
