PUDINA/MINT CHUTNEY

April 15, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Early mornings are always busy for me.Daughter leaves early for college and hubby leaves for work soon following suit.In that hurry burry sometimes i break my head for what to serve along with good old idly or dosa.I do make this mint chutney a bit thick in case i pack lunch for them or if serving at home it will be a little watery.Mint has innumerable health benefits,but hubby dear doesn’t like it.Thankfully Dhivya likes it. So to avoid the overpowering flavour of mint i add coriander leaves as well.Mint helps as a cure for gas troubles,migraine headaches and also…

We make numerous breakfast recipes,different lunch varieties yet we are always on the look out for accompaniments to those dishes.Iam afraid we all experience this,if we don’t have a good side dish the main dish cannot be enjoyed to its full relishment.Tomato chutney is one such side dish which can not only be made in a jiffy,it can be stored for 2-3 days when made properly.I was thinking something new to eat with dosa and was wondering what to do so this recipe i dug out from an old cookbook at home.One good thing about this recipe is that it…

This Poori Masala is the one they serve in the restuarants along with hot pooris.This is purely a south indian style side dish for poori.Though sometimes i serve this with hot rotis as well.If you don’t make it watery and keep the potato masala a little dry you can serve this with rava idly as well.This dish is a hit combo when served during breakfast.I made this last week for our brunch.Let us see how this is made. Notes You can add peas or tomatoes to this dish while sauteeing onions.
