Fresh mint leaves - from my balcony garden :) |
And here's my modified version of mint chutney :D
This very unattractive chutney is superyummy. And an easy way to eat healthy.
Recipe:
A bunch of fresh mint leaves
Almost double the quantity of corriander leaves
Green chili
Salt
Walnuts - lightly toast them in a pan with no oil, cool, and then use
Juice from one lemon
Water - a bit to help make a smooth paste
Grind all the ingredients to a smooth paste. Done. That's all there is to the chutney :D Spread on wholewheat bread and munch munch. The walnut gives the chutney a smooth creamy texture, and you won't need any butter on the bread :D
Do you cut away the corners of the bread when you make sandwiches? I ALWAYS do that :D And, of course, the nutrition in the bread is maximum in its crust (has to be na, since I don't like the taste) which I am throwing away. What I do now is cut away the crust and store it in the fridge. I use it to make bread upma :D :D :D
Hmmm...sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteYou like mint? yesterday you said you don't...eh..Radhoooooo
Btw, this is a new concept for me.Walnut+mint..will try soon n let ya know

ReplyDeleteHiii Butterfly :D
ReplyDeleteToast - to brown/heat or warm thoroughly by exposure to heat
Roast - to cook by direct exposure to dry heat like in an oven/spit, putting on coal embers, etc., directly.
So I picked toast after much confusion :D :D :D :D
