Pudina Chutney | Teekhi Chutney | Mint Chutney | Green Chutney

Pudina chutney is an Indian dip/spread that is served and used with various snacks, chats, chicken items, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast items. This chutney has 3 different versions. The first one is for chats, sandwiches, and snacks like Pakoda, Vada Pav, etc.  Second is for Tandoori Kebabs, Biryani, and salads. The third is used in South Indian breakfast such as Idli, Pongal, Dosa, Uddin Vada, etc. This chutney is also well known as “Teekhi Chutney” and “Green Chutney”. 

In this recipe, I am including the first method. Soon, I’ll be adding the other two methods too in the same post. This Pudina Chutney is used as a spread on sandwiches like Tomato-Cucumber Sandwich and Bombay Sandwich, you can use this for any other sandwich. Also, I use this chutney as a sauce for chat items like Vada Pav, Sev Puri, Bhel Puri, Ragada Patties, etc. 

It is made using herbs like mint leaves and coriander leaves. Mint leaves are a great source of Vitamin A, helps with eye health and night vision, and a higher source of antioxidants when compared to other herbs. Indian food is nutritious and delicious with the presence of such ingredients. Indian diet is the best and immunity power is on the higher side. This recipe is a must if you’re making sandwiches and chats. I hope you will love this Pudina Chutney recipe.
