Pudina thengai pottukadalai chutney


Mint coconut fried gram dhal chutney for dosa

Take half a kernel coconut and  cut into pieces called badhai in Tamil .  I do not grate.  I grate coconut only for burfi.

Add fried gram dhal .  We can increase or decrease the quantity depending upon whether we want  the coconut flavour to me  more or gram dhal flavour more.

If you are looking for different type of mint chutney , mint coconut chutney , coconut chutney different chutney,  this post may be helpful.

9 dots or pulli kolangal
