Mint chutney recipe

I make this mint chutney recipe(Pudina chutney in Tamil) for breakfast. Its a very tasty side dish for idli dosa. I have already posted a mint chutney with tomato and this one is with coconut.Sendhil & Raksha love this chutney a lot. It tastes more like hotel chutney. As this is a two step recipe, I have not posted step by step pictures.For step by step pictures,please refer my Green chutney recipe using coriander leaves if interested.
