Notes
In this recipe, I have used only pudhina /mint leaves. You can add equal portion of coriander leaves and mint leaves to make this chutney. 2. I liked to retain the color of pudhina , hence used green chilli. You can replace with red chillies instead. There may be slight change in color and taste.
