Pudina Chutney

Some dishes like tangy chutneys are ignored and not given much importance. They are kept in small containers but without getting highlighted they impart all the taste. It is these side dishes which make the main dishes stand out. One such side dish is this tangy and spicy pudina chutney.
After glorifying this pudina chutney one has to mention its umpteen uses. Pudina chutney is used for sandwiches such as this Bombay Sandwich, chaats, as a dip or to smear onto tasty kathi rolls (which is the recipe coming up next).


Pudina chutney has fresh mint, of course, little green chilli for some heat and garlic and ginger. The tanginess is from the black salt, a simple blend of these ingredients and there it is, ready, a mouth-watering side dish. Try other side dishes and more chutney recipes from FOI.

  1. Thanks I tried it today and it turned out awesome. Also when we make pudina chutney its never smooth. It has granules kind thing. Any tip for the same.

    1. Hello,
      Thanks for trying the chutney recipe.
      The granule like texture is because the pudina chutney has split. Ensure pudina is fresh and also grind without water first and then add required amount of water.
      You can also add a few fried gram (daria) to get a smooth texture (taste will be slightly different)
