Pudina-Kothamalli Thuviyal

A thuviyal is a cooked version of a chutney. I prefer this version - you can eat it with your regular idli, dosa and also with rice and rotis. I like to combine both Pudina (mint leaves) and Kothamalli
(Coriander leaves), but this can be done with either as well.

You will need:
Pudina
Kothamalli
Puli (Tamarind)
Mustard Seeds
Urad Dal
Red Chillies
Green Chillies
Salt
Oil


Add mustard seeds to oil. Once it splutters, add the urad dal, tamarind and chillies. Stir well and add chopped leaves and salt. You can add aesofotida if you want. Let it cook for a while and keep aside to cool. Once cool, grind into a rough paste (I prefer a bit of a crunch!).

Easy, tasty and healthy!!
