Food that looks mind blowing need not be healthy also food that is healthy need not be tasty too. It’s a universal problem. But, this is not the case always 😉 you could make healthy yet tasty dishes in no time.
This Mint chutney is one of that kind, I tasted this recipe years back when my cousin S’s maid mayaakka made this. This recipe is a sure keeper for those who dislike the raw taste of mint, healthy in its own way you could also skip roasting part( but I recommend to roast as that’s the taste giving process for this recipe 😛 )
