Mint brings out a rich flavor to the dish it is added to. Mint chutney pairs well with rava dosa. It is also great with rice. I made this delicious chutney for dosa last week. I came across this recipe on Chef Venkatesh Bhat's You Tube channel.
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 Tablespoon channa dal
1 Tablespoon urad dal
1 Cup pink pearl onion, peeled
3 pods of garlic
4 green chili, slit in half
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 Cup chopped fresh tomato
1 Cup packed fresh cilantro
1 Cup packed fresh mint
2 Tablespoons thick tamarind pulp
1/2 Cup grated coconut
salt to taste
mustard seeds, urad dal, few curry leaves, and 2 dried red chili for tempering
oil for tempering
Method:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, channa dal and urad dal. Saute for a minute, until golden brown.
2. Add onion, garlic, slit green chili, and turmeric powder. Saute well for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add chopped tomato and cook well.
4. Add fresh cilantro and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
5. Add fresh mint and cook for 3-4 minutes, until wilted.
6. Add tamarind pulp and cook for couple minutes, until raw smell leaves.
7. Turn the stove off. Add salt and grated coconut. Allow to cool.
8. Blend to smooth chutney in a blender. Add very little water if required. The chutney should be thick. Transfer to a bowl.
9. Temper chutney with mustard seeds, urad dal, dried red chili, and curry leaves. Serve with dosa.
