Basic Green Chutney Essential in every Indian Kitchen
Use up your greens to its fullest. This is a must have essential green chutney recipe in every Indian household. Just one recipe you will need to to spruce up tons of Indian dishes. Its stores well and flavors well what more could you ask for!
In Indian cooking mint leaves seems to be essential in the weekly grocery list, but even 1 bunch of mint leaves is too much for a nuclear family. We end up dumping at least the black wilted mint leaves each time. Give this green chutney recipe a try and you will never go back to wasting it.
I live in Sweden, mint is one of the costliest and rare herb you could find during winter. Which makes it more special for us and important to use it fully. Thus I began to make these green chutney and store it in fridge or freezer and use it to my heart's desire at all seasons. Cold winters requires hot bhajis with mint chutney, hot grilled cheese sandwich with green chutney or even a lazy quick mint biriyani for lunch. All with just one base chutney recipe.
All you will need to spruce up your Indian dishes is this green chutney. You could make masala buttermilk, top your chat items, even make biriyani out of this simple basic green chutney. Its stores well and flavors well what more could you ask for!
Hope you will give this a try and save on your money and the planet. Happy eating:)

Tips
