Variations in making of Tomato Pudhina Chutney

• Quantity of Coconut - I have added only two tablespoon of Coconut in the chutney. You can increase the proportion of Coconut to get slightly different texture and taste of this chutney.
• Addition of Coriander Leaves - Add Coriander leaves along with Mint leaves to get different flavor. Also you can replace mint leaves with coriander leaves.
• Color of the Chutney - This depends on various factors - proportion of Tomato to Mint Leaves and coconut, quality of the tomato, etc.,  Color doesn't matter as long as you get the chutney as per your liking.
• Sourness in the chutney - I have not add Tamarind as i found the tomato itself gives required sourness. If you want more sourness then you can add a teaspoon of tamarind paste / very small pinch of tamarind.
• Garlic - If you are a fan of garlic, then you can add 2-3 garlic cloves.
• Green Vs. Red Chili - I have add both green chili and red chili in this chutney. But you can add either green or red chili as per your liking.
