    Amma is a expert in making this. The taste of this chutney just stays in my tongue forever. I love this that much. Its aroma and its taste is divine. She also makes this using mint leaves or a mixture of both. I have a recipe of my mom's mint chutney in this blog too.Anyhow it taste yummy with hot dosa's or idli's. Also check out my version of mint chutney.
