Mint, Coriander Leaves and Curry Leaves chutney is the Restaurant Style Green chutney served with Idli/Dosa or uttapam. Equal measure of mint leaves, coriander leaves and curry leaves are ground along with urad dal, chana dal, red chili, coconut and tamarind. The combination of leaves makes this chutney so scrumptious and interesting. Usually mint or coriander chutney is prepared with coconut, roasted gram and chilies, but here the main secret is the addition of curry leaves. We generally use curry leaves for tempering, but here we are going to use equal measure of curry leaves as to other greens and also for tempering. Any greens have lots of nutrition and medicinal values. Now combining 3 greens makes this chutney more healthier.

- Wash the leaves thoroughly before sautéing the leaves in oil.

- Adding coconut is optional but it really enhances the flavor.
