When there is nothing available, a chutney and ghee is enough to finish our meal along with hot steamed rice.
Its a spicy pudina chutney made by adding fresh herbs like mint leaves and coriander leaves along with some spices.
This can also be served with rice and can be used as a spread for sandwich recipes. Overall this chutney is a hit in south india. It is usually referred to as tomato pudina pachadi as we add tomatoes into the pachadi.
Every meal platter in south india consists of varieties of chutneys and this chutney is one among them.
Chutneys, pickles are everyone’s favorite in south india and no meal is complete without them.
This chutney is usually called as pudina pachadi in telugu lingo in andhra pradesh. I like to make many more chutney recipes with different vegetables and herbs.
