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 and 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.
