Notes
Mung daal mixture should be coarse and not too watery so remove as much water as possible from mung daal before grinding it

I always relished the pudina chutney served with tandoori chicken or kababs. This is my try and it turned out quite well..


Ingredients
1 cup punina leaves
2 spoon corriander leaves
2 cup curd
salt to taste

Method

• Grind the pundina leaves and corriander leaves in mixer
• It will form watery paste, filter to get the pudina water
• In a pot mix curd and salt
• Now mix the pudina water spoon full at a time till completely mixed

Notes
Use thickest possible curd as we are anyway adding pudina water so it will be little thinner anyways

you can optionally add 1-2 spoons of corriander leaves in the tomato while crushing, but i served it with chutney which has corriander so i avoided it. But while serving with tomato ketchup it would taste good
