MINT THUVAIYAL - WITHOUT COCONUT - STEP BY STEP

MINT THUVAIYAL WITHOUT COCONUT

Mint thuvaiyal - A refreshing Indian condiment that goes very well with Hot Idli's or Dosa's. This thuvaiyal is nothing but a puree of mint leaves, along with red chillies, ginger and urad dal. I have not added coconut so we can keep this thuvaiyal for a week or two. I have a similar Mint thuvaiyal recipe with Coconut . Have a bunch of mint leaves is your fridge, then go ahead and prepare this recipe and you will definitely enjoy this verdant chutney 

For this recipe you need 

1 bunch of fresh mint leaves. leaves discarded from the stem and cleaned

2 tbsp. of urad dal
