CHATKHOR'S Must have CHUTNEY : Dhaniya Pudine ki Chutney / Mint Coriander Chutney

Chandu ke chacha ne, chandu ki chachi ko,
chandni raat mein, chandi ke chammach se,
chatpati chatni chatayi...

Remember trying to say this rhyme as fast as u can without stumbling on a word or two... this always reminds me of my favourite chutney.. the dhaniya pudine ki chutney.. tangy, can be used as a dipping sauce.. a must have for every street food.. be it kachodi.. papdi chaat.. etc etc.. Seriously from d day i have started my so called grahast jeevan i havent had a day without this chutney in my fridge, never thought will be using this chutney is such varied ways but yeah these are some ways how it is used..

1. A must have with parathas(remember the way i had it with missi roti in d balanced brakfast) yes mixing it with fresh cream its d best combo with any paratha.
2. For chutney sandwich, just a layer of this chutney for your sandwich and it makes each of those cucumber slices taste a lot more better.
3. Garg loves to mix 1/4 tsp of this chutney to a finely chopped salad, to add that extra zing.
4. Mix a little of this with Dahi in your raita.
5. As a side chutney for invariably anything, substitutes pickles with chapati , with samose, with papdi chat, with dahi bhalle.. oh my god i feel like having all of them now..
I know this would b probably the most common thing in most north indian families and another variant of this with only corainder in south indian families but this i didnt want to miss on this in the marathon.. i guess it will b a great match for Dhivyas fried herb mozzarella. :)
OK here goes my simple recipe for my favourite fav fav chutney.. a must have in my pantry..

All you need is:

1 portion mint leaves
2 portions Coriander leaves
1 medium sized onions sliced
1 medium sized tomato peeled and cut roughly
5-6 green chilled cut roughly

All you need to do is:

Grind all this together till a smoth paste is obtained. Tips: be generous with the chillies and salt, otherwise it becomes blande. Seriuosly if you want it chatpata you ought to be generous with it.
